Safety Engineering

Safety Engineering is an expertise field of VLO through our partnership. As for structural consultancy, services during the FEED and EPC projects are provided to implement the Design Accidental Load Specification into the structural design. The focus of VLO is to provide services within safety design to construct operational platforms in a way that must tolerate accidents. The main scope of work is functional implications of different kinds of failures of the process equipment due to factors such as design, corrosion or lack of integrity. The consequences of these factors are calculated in risk analysis and the results are implemented in structural safety design. Safety Design work includes: • Management of total risk analysis • Development of Accidental Load Specification • Fire risk assessment, CFD studies • Explosion risk assessment, CFD studies • Ventilation and gas/smoke dispersion CFD studies • Fire and Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA) • Topside global and local nonlinear structural fire consequence analysis • Design and optimisation of passive fire protection including equipment and pipe supports • Topsides global and local nonlinear structural explosion consequence analysis • Dropped object study including nonlinear structural consequence assessment • Ship collision study including strength assessment of fixed and floating platforms
