Manuel Amorim’s Summary

I'm an industrial engineer in Spain, currently performing tasks related to the design of steel structures, tools, lifting appliances and other mechanically functioning equipment for customers located in Norway. Other activities include researching and analyzing customer design proposals, specifications, manuals, and other data to evaluate the feasibility, cost and requirements of designs or applications.

I was formerly involved in the design of water supply networks and firefighting systems, including detection and supression. Also involved with projects related to the design of general services (compressed air, boiler rooms, ligthning applications, HVAC, water treatment systems, etc) as well as urban planning of industrial areas.

Since 2005 I've been (slowly) working on my PhD in industrial engineering, mostly so as to have an excuse to delve into specific topics that are of interest to me.

Manuel Amorim’s Specialties:

Design and engineering of steel structures, analysis of lifting appliances, design of mud systems and piping, firefighting systems to Norsok and DNV standards.
