  • Mechanical Integrity Assessment

    Mechanical Integrity Assessment ensures equipment/assets are designed, fabricated, installed, operated and maintained in such a way that they provide the desired performance in a safe manner.

    Our result of the assessment will include comment on adequacy of maintenance plan, suggestion on improvement with change condition, immediately required (before start-up) repairs, maintenance actions.

    The entire assessment is done in three phases and depending on assessment result plant operator needs to take appropriate action.

  • Technical HSE site inspection

    Our TÜV SÜD experts will help you to identify the hazard associated with start-up activities of a plant, facilities or critical asset. Our site inspection will include:

    • Equipment operability and maintainability condition 
    • Outstanding punch list items from mechanical completion associated with PSSA HIRA review 
    • Availability of MSDS, data sheets, emergency procedures
    • Access and exit routes for operators and maintenance personnel
    • Location of emergency and safety equipment, warning signs
    • Safe location of vent lines
    • Assembly and locking systems
    • Review of temporary structure like piping, wiring, hose etc. 
  • HAZOP Study*

    Our TÜV SÜD experts will help you to identify potential hazards in a system and identifying operability problems likely to lead to nonconforming products / process. Our HAZOP study will help you to identify and assess current mitigation measures and their reliability which includes below but limited to:

    • Plan the sessions with various stake holders
    • Identify deviation by using guide words on each element
    • Identify consequences and causes
    • Identify protection, detection, and indicating mechanisms
    • Identify possible remedial/mitigating measures along with customer

    • Estimation of individual risks 
    • Aggregation of risks 
    • Identification of controls to mitigate risk
    • Consequence Analysis
    • Consequence modeling is carried out by using SAFETI software

    *Based on your specific requirement, the service may / may not be included in your package.
