About EnggTools

EnggTools is a practical engineering platform built for working engineers, students, and technical professionals who need clear tools, reliable explanations, and organized engineering resources in one place.

The purpose of EnggTools is to bring calculation tools, productivity tools, engineering articles, standards explanations, and original study resources into a single clean platform. The focus is practical use: clear inputs, visible assumptions, understandable outputs, and engineering notes that help users review their own work.

The platform is starting with tools such as tolerance stackup and weekly planning, and is growing into calculators for bolting, lifting, pressure vessel concepts, piping, pipeline work, and other engineering topics.

EnggTools is not intended to replace official codes, licensed standards, project specifications, or qualified engineering judgment. It is designed to support better engineering thinking and make routine technical work easier to organize, explain, and review. The website is maintained with a strong focus on original content, safe references, and practical engineering usefulness.

About the Creator

EnggTools is built by Ashish Kapoor, a Project Engineering Lead based in Hyderabad, India, with over 11 years of experience in subsea oil & gas engineering. His work spans subsea distribution systems (UTAs, HFLs, SDUs, MQCs), pipeline repair and connector design, and engineering assurance across the full project lifecycle — from FEED through manufacturing, testing, and commissioning.

He currently works as a Senior Engineer at TechnipFMC, leading the delivery of global subsea engineering scopes and acting as the primary interface engineer between design, manufacturing, vendor, and client teams. Previously, at Oceaneering International, he led the conceptual and detailed design of subsea pipeline connectors, repair clamps, and UTAs in compliance with ASME, API, and DNV standards, delivering projects for clients including BP, Chevron, Woodside, and Subsea7.

Across these roles he has worked extensively with tolerance stack-up analysis, GD&T, finite element analysis, seal and buoyancy calculations, and design automation — including building automated tolerance stack-up and buoyancy tools that cut manual calculation effort by more than half. That hands-on experience with the small, repetitive, error-prone calculations every engineer faces is exactly what EnggTools is built to make easier.

Why he built EnggTools

Working day to day on real subsea projects, Ashish kept running into the same gap: practical engineering calculations and references were scattered across spreadsheets, PDFs, and tribal knowledge, with no clean place to run them, check the assumptions, and document the result. EnggTools is his attempt to close that gap — a single, dependable platform where engineers can run trustworthy calculations, read clear standards-aware explanations, and keep their technical work organized.
