ACHIEVING EFFECTIVE CODE COMPLIANCE
Code Consulting + Conformity
Using their deep knowledge of code requirements and regulatory intent, our building code consultants help you create the most effective strategy, from audit and planning to project completion. Our code consulting services will help you navigate the complex landscape of regulatory agencies to reduce delays, manage costs and support construction timescales. We also help ensure that your building, industrial or infrastructure project is compliant with the latest legislation to mitigate risk and address design needs.
comprehensive DESIGN SERVICES INTEGRAL TO people + property SAFETY
Fire Safety + System Design
When we design fire safety systems, we consider all elements required for protecting people most effectively and ensure that systems are fit for purpose. We advise clients on building and structure designs to make sure fire safety is the priority.
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS using STATE-OF-THE-ART MODELLING
Fire, Smoke + Tunnel Modelling
Our fire safety engineers conduct fire engineering analysis supported by the use of advanced computer modelling programmes. We use computational fluid dynamics (CFD), smoke modelling and the latest evacuation modelling programmes to understand and solve the challenges of a building performance in a fire.
The Application of Science to Legal Investigation of Incidents
Forensic Investigation Services
For incidents including fire, escape of water, chemicals, structural or product failure, we apply the scientific method through our expert team of scientists, forensic engineers, and expert investigators to understand in detail the ‘what, why and who’, that permits the pursuit of recovery, validates a legitimate claim, repudiates fraud or allows defense of a liability. As a market leading forensic investigation company, we have a track record of always responding rapidly, delivering conclusive reports, robust evidence and expert testimony. Forensics are a client focused team who are dedicated to understanding your needs. As a trusted partner we go that ‘extra mile’ seeking solutions that can assist and add further value to the inquiry process.
Energy + Utilities
From power generation to transmission and distribution to energy storage, our experts are at the forefront of hazard mitigation, helping identify, analyze, and mitigate risks critical to any organisation’s safety and continuity. Whether it’s fossil-fuel or clean energy sources, like nuclear, hydrogen or energy storage, we account for site-specific factors to ensure proper assessments, risk-informed engineering and designs, and appropriate technology usage.
EVALUATE + CONTROL HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Hazardous Materials
We recognise that the classification, processing and safe handling of hazardous materials in an industrial facility is critical to both personal safety and business continuity. Our experts utilise onsite evaluations, hazard assessments and software solutions to help you create a safe environment and implement mitigation strategies.
HYDROGEN PRODUCTION, STORAGE + UTILIZATION
Hydrogen Services
Our team of experts supports projects related to fuel cell safety, hydrogen storage and use across multiple occupancies, including Laboratories, Petro-Chemical, Manufacturing, Warehouse/Storage, High Tech/Computer, Electric Utilities, Transportation and other Industrial Facilities. We offer integrated solutions that address risk reduction and ensure business continuity beyond traditional process safety. From prevention to mitigation, investigation to rectification, our services help facilities become more effective, efficient and safer.
ENSURE NUCLEAR SAFETY + BUSINESS OPERATIONS, DRIVE ADVANCED REACTOR + SMR TECHNOLOGIES
Nuclear Services
For more than 30 years, our diverse teams of industry-leading nuclear engineers, fire protection experts, and regulatory affairs and safety assessment consultants have been enhancing the safety and operational performance of complex facilities, such as nuclear power plants, chemical process facilities and hazardous material storage facilities. As the principal developers of Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) methods and technology, we have established and maintained a dominant role in the use of risk and reliability techniques to ensure regulatory compliance while minimizing risks, assessing new technologies and reducing costs. Leveraging our extensive background in regulatory and licensing projects, we support all phases of small modular (SMR) and advanced reactor design development. We also support the long-term operation of existing nuclear power plants, using risk models to inform aging management programs and life extension strategies.
CREATING A SOUND PROCESS SAFETY FOUNDATION
Process Safety
From simple production halls to complex renovations and processes, we have a wealth of experience in industrial projects and can provide advice that is tailored to your project. A sound process safety foundation is essential to life safety, environmental protection, regulatory compliance and business continuity. We customize our process safety approach to meet your business needs. Our process safety consultants help meet critical business requirements by auditing, developing, implementing and maintaining your process safety plans at all operational stages.
Detailed Risk Analysis for safety driven outcomes
Risk Analysis
With regard to fire prevention in work spaces, we perform risk analysis in the context of the legal requirements imposed by the Belgian Royal Decree of March 28, 2014. We are highly experienced in conducting risk analysis across a broad spectrum of sectors, including commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, industrial plants, and rail and road infrastructures. In addition to our detailed analysis, we also provide the technical specifications for the recommended systems we put forward.
