Indian Engineering Firms

(OP)
Has anyone had any experience with outsourcing from the US, pressure vessel and / or shell and tube heat exchanger engineering to India?    

RE: Indian Engineering Firms

Yes.  All the major engineering houses have offices in India including Jacobs, Bantrel, and Fluor (I imagine more than that, those are the ones I know for sure).  Lots of qualified, competent ASME fabricators in India as well.  Look at companies like Isgec, or Larsen & Toubro.

RE: Indian Engineering Firms

Some even get their pressure vessels manufactured in India like Integrated Equipment.

RE: Indian Engineering Firms

I can attest to the good quality from Larsen & Toubro in India.  In my past I had worked with them on 8" thick Div 2 vessels and they were OK.  Like everything, you must include enough money to go there to QA their work and have good technical kick-off meetings to ensure they understand what you want and what you DON'T want them to do.

I hated the flight though. That trip was a 38 hours flight...

RE: Indian Engineering Firms

I will second vesselguy's comment about Larsen & Toubro's quality.  They are well versed in ASME codes and capable of heavy wall vessel construction.
