VesPro — short for Vessel Professional — is a specialized pressure vessel engineering and design consultancy serving clients across the United States. With over 10 years of hands-on experience, every project gets senior-level attention from day one.
From initial design to final stamp, we provide full-scope engineering support for pressure vessel projects across every major industry.
ASME Section VIII Div. 1 & Div. 2 compliant vessel design including stress analysis, nozzle loads, and material selection for operating conditions.
Advanced finite element analysis for complex geometries, cyclic loading, and thermal gradients that exceed standard code calculations.
Third-party engineering review and code stamping for ASME, NBIC, and jurisdictional compliance on new and existing vessels.
Complete U-1 data reports, design calculations, material traceability documentation, and MDMT determinations for your records.
VesPro Engineering is a new firm — but the expertise behind it is not. Our founder brings over 10 years of direct ASME pressure vessel engineering experience. Based in Houston, TX, we serve clients remotely and on-site across the entire United States.

A complete engineering package — 3D modeling, ASME code calculations, and fabrication drawings — all produced using industry-standard SolidWorks and COMPRESS software.
Every project begins as a fully parametric 3D solid model built in SolidWorks, capturing the shell, heads, nozzles, supports and internals exactly as they will be fabricated. Modeling in three dimensions lets us resolve nozzle clashes, confirm flange projections and clearances, and verify weld access well before any plate is cut. The same model drives the photorealistic renders used for client review, proposal packages and general-arrangement sign-off. Because the geometry mirrors the real wall thicknesses and reinforcement, it feeds the downstream ASME calculation set directly — no re-measuring.
With the geometry locked, the vessel is taken through full ASME Section VIII, Division 1 design — every shell course, head, nozzle and support sized and documented against code. We build the analysis model in COMPRESS to drive the calculation set, then produce a complete, fabrication-ready drawing package: general arrangement, sections, nozzle schedule, weld details and bill of materials. Design loads, joint categories and examination requirements are called out so the shop can build and the inspector can sign off without guesswork. Every dimension on the drawing traces back to a code calculation, keeping the model, the math and the drawing in lockstep.
Every wall thickness, nozzle and support is verified by calculation before a vessel is released to the shop. We run the full ASME Section VIII, Division 1 calculation set in COMPRESS — shell and head thickness under internal and external pressure, opening reinforcement, support loads and MAWP — and document each result against code. Where geometry creates local stresses the closed-form rules don’t capture, such as nozzle junctions and the jacket-to-shell transition, we verify with finite element analysis and a von Mises check against allowable stress. The result is a defensible, fully traceable basis for the stamped vessel.
✦ All models, calculations and drawings prepared in accordance with ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 1.
