Experts In Process Hazard and Safety Analysis
Trusted experts in process hazard and safety analysis: providing comprehensive, tailored solutions to identify, assess, and mitigate risks across complex systems. With expertise in HAZOP, FMEA, QRA, and regulatory compliance, we ensure operational safety, minimize downtime, and drive sustainable excellence for industries worldwide.
Specialized Services
We provide comprehensive services to manufacturing and industrial facilities, including those dealing with hydrogen and new hydrogen applications. Our safety, fire protection, and risk and hazard engineers can identify potential risks and hazards associated with hydrogen use, develop and implement safety protocols, and help to ensure that facilities are operating in compliance with all applicable regulations. We specialize in:
- Integrated solutions that address risk reduction and ensure business continuity
- Solutions beyond traditional process safety
- Data-driven risk assessments and performance-based solutions to optimize safety while maximizing production throughout
Code Consulting + Regulatory Compliance
For 80+ years, we’ve navigated partners through code compliance challenges, from planning and through operation. Our multidisciplinary team, including active participants in codes and standards development, get involved early in the design process. We identify and interpret code requirements to mitigate potential compliance issues. By performing drawing reviews at key design stages, we resolve issues and develop solutions to save time and cost, all while maintaining intended form and function. We facilitate discussions and negotiations with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
