SAFETY & RELIABILITY IN A COMPLEX WORLD Bringing our expertise and experience to your design and operations
With a growing global population, the world’s demands for energy, water, food and medicines has never been higher. At the same time, our planet’s changing climate means we increasingly need to meet these demands through sustainable means.
2
The industries that produce these resources can often be complex and hazardous, and, in some parts of the world, highly regulated. It is crucial to ensure the safety and reliability of the design and operation of these processes and plant. Methodical approaches are needed to identify, understand, manage and reduce the risks - to people and to our environment – and to make the right decisions.
This is more than just complying with standards; it is bringing a depth of knowledge to prevent the accidents that have never happened and to avoid repeating those that have.
W H Y L O O K T O U S ?
We in Atkins (an SNC Lavalin company) are one of the world’s most respected design, engineering and project management consultancies. Our work spans many different sectors and industries across the world but our approach is always the same. Whatever the industry we strive to build strong relationships by understanding the challenges our clients face, sharing their vision, earning their trust, and delivering real and long-term value. For over 40 years we have worked in all types of industry and regulatory regimes and we understand the risks from complex operations and hazard combinations better than most. With our broad understanding, diversity of skills, and depth of knowledge across all industries, we can bring the best approaches and practice to your specifc design project or operation. This allows us to combine ‘what if’ things go wrong with ‘what is’ in place in your design and operation.
QUITE SIMPLY, WE BELIEVE THAT THIS SETS US APART.

Our experience and understanding of the demands of real projects means that we can deliver the right support for your requirements throughout every stage, from Concept Development through to Operations and Decommissioning.
With our extensive and varied track record it is diffcult to capture here the full range of what we’ve done. To give a favour, the following gives an overview of the types of services we typically provide.

Supporting Design Decisions Safety aspects should be at the forefront of all project decisions. As your project progresses through its engineering phases, with increasing detail and complexity, safety (including technical and process safety and human factors considerations) should be central to a successful and cost-effective project design.
We are proud to have experts in all key aspects of safety, reliability and human factors analysis throughout the lifecycle of a project, marshalling a range of methods to analyse safety and human factors issues, evaluate the performance of protection systems, and quantify and reduce risks to people, plant and the environment. We focus particularly on using safety and risk analysis to drive the development of hazard management strategies on projects and in plant operations.
Our services are targeted to suit your objectives, and our support ranges from conduct of a one-off bespoke study to providing input to a particular project decision, to full embedding of a safety engineer(s) within your project design team, with responsibility for producing safety deliverables for the duration of the project.
Assurance in Design and Operations An independent design safety review gives confdence that the main hazards have been addressed or actions raised to address them at the next stage of design. We can provide independent facilitators for your design safety reviews, such as Inherently Safer Design (ISD) reviews, HAZID, HAZOP and LOPA workshops, and structured reviews to determine if risks are appropriately managed. We bring the same focus on safety from our own design review processes to deliver for our clients.
We can also provide independent assurance of the design, and maintenance and inspection regime of your safety instrumented system (SIS) through completion of a Functional Safety Assessment (FSA).
Process Safety Management Support We work with clients with different safety management systems and challenges. We have developed and optimised robust process safety management systems for new or existing facilities across the globe. We also help strengthen any aspects of an existing process safety management system through, for example, identifcation and assessment of hazards, developing bow tie diagrams for the major hazards, identifying the key risk control systems, developing performance standards and developing a set of leading and lagging Process Safety Performance Indicators.
Regulatory Compliance We have extensive experience in supporting clients in demonstrating compliance with the relevant legislation and regulations relevant to a project or facility. This includes diverse regulatory regimes such as the USA, UK, EU, Middle East, Asia-Pacifc and Australia and Canada.
For a new development we can prepare a ‘roadmap’ for compliance, showing the necessary steps to achieve the necessary regulatory consents and approvals, and can assist in your communications with the regulatory authorities. Indeed, we have also advised governments around the world in their approaches to safety regulation.

Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. We rely on their trust and confdence in us to build lasting relationships and deliver long-term value. We’re focussed on delivering a safer legacy for all. Here are some perspectives of our recent work.

“The Arctic LNG2 Project, in Russia, includes the construction of three LNG trains on a gravity-based structure. We provided safety support to NOVATEK and Technip FMC during the FEED and Detailed Design stages of the project.
We developed the QRA to develop a risk picture for both personnel and the asset with input from CFD modelling. Fire and Cryogenic risk assessments were carried out to develop risk contours over time for the installation and we were able to determine where Passive Fire Protection (PFP) and Cold Spill Protection (CSP) is required.
Throughout our work we applied our extensive experience of LNG risks obtained from projects such as Prelude FLNG. Our support to our clients ensured that they were provided with a detailed and accurate risk profle for their installation which was used to minimise risk to life. In addition, the detailed fre and cryogenic modelling done across the installation meant that the client could optimise both passive fre protection and cryogenic spill protection required on key targets such as vessels and structural supports, as such providing the potential for signifcant fnancial savings.

“The Macallan distillery, in Craigellachie, Moray, is an upper tier COMAH site. Edrington, the frm that owns Macallan, recently built a brand new distillery; during the build project we supported Edrington in updating the COMAH safety report, which needed to cover the management of major accident hazards associated with both the new and the existing distilleries.
Timely and satisfactory submission to the competent authority was critical to ensure no impact on the commissioning schedule for the new distillery. Throughout our work we applied our extensive experience of delivering compliant COMAH safety reports for oil and gas operators. Our support to Edrington ensured the COMAH compliance process went smoothly with no impact on commissioning schedule.”

“HyNet North West is a hydrogen energy and carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) project, with the goal to reduce carbon emissions and support economic growth in the North West of England. As part of this project, we are working as part of a consortium of companies to undertake a FEED study for a hydrogen production plant, to be located at Stanlow Refnery, to produce low carbon hydrogen from natural gas.
To support the FEED project, we have been providing independent facilitation and recording of HAZID, ENVID and HAZOP workshops. We have had to adapt to support this project remotely but have developed methods to conduct thorough, valuable and successful workshops virtually, whilst maintaining the quality of output required. Despite challenging working conditions such as restrictions on gatherings, the client can still progress their designs and no major project milestones are compromised.”

“The Baltic Eagle Offshore Windfarm in Germany, by Iberdrola, will supply renewable energy to 475,000 homes. We carried out the Concept and Contracting Designs for the Offshore Substation Jacket and Topsides. The OSP (Offshore Substation Platform) was located in the Baltic Sea, which presented a different set of problems from those traditionally found in the North Sea, English Channel or Irish Sea. Interestingly around environmental conditions, ship collision philosophy and regulatory requirements.
The project design also involved an enclosed topsides, where passageways has to be protected from the environment, as the Baltic Sea was signifcantly colder than the equivalent latitudes in the North Sea during the winter. This threw up many complexities involving gaseous frefghting and ventilation which are not traditionally encountered in more conventional OSP designs.
Nevertheless, we delivered a full suite of renewable safety scopes delivered including the Safety Design Basis, Design Risk Analysis Report, Hazardous Area Drawings and Emergency Escape Route Drawings by calling on our extensive experience with Offshore Substation Design.”
