About Me

Hello! I’m Rajesh Naik. I am a Piping Engineer with 36 years of professional experience in the Oil and Gas, Chemical and Petrochemical Industry. This website is an outcome of my passion for piping. Through piping-world.com, I intend to bring piping professionals and aspiring engineers around the globe to collaborate with each other and in helping each other solve piping related issues.

I try to make the information as correct as possible. However, it is likely that errors might creep in. If you notice any errors or have any suggestions to improve the site, please write to me through the contact me link provided above. Over 1000 members have registered on the site and it is time to include a disucssion forum. I am currently working on releasing a discussion forum shortly where the community can exchange their piping knowledge.

I am currently experimenting with integrating web technologies with piping engineering activities to make them simpler and efficient. If you need services in this area please contact me with your requirements for a quote.

Due to my other committments, I will not be able to respond to any personal queries related to piping engineering. You may use the Q&A section (forum) to post your questions.

Project Manager / UZ-750 Project

Excellent leadership and organized management of the many facets of pipeline rectification works.

Excellent job in assuming Engineering Manager role while also maintaining responsibilities in Discipline Lead Role.

Engineering Manager / UZ-750 Project

As Acting Engineering Lead, Rajesh has provided outstanding performance which clearly exceeds his current role (lead piping engineer) requirement. Without his contribution, the success of UZ-750 Project in early production start-up and essential savings due to value engineering could not have been achieved.
