The Opportunity:

A major United States refinery was recommended to spend $2 Million on a temporary blast proof tent during turnaround from a facility siting study conducted by a third-party contractor.

Our Solution:

Smith & Burgess determined the EPC based their recommendation on overly conservative assumptions and misapplied guidelines. Our engineers helped educate the site’s staff on RAGAGEP and key industry elements that are necessary considerations for facility siting studies.

The Results:

Thanks to Smith & Burgess’ expertise, the refinery was now able to make educated decisions on future facility siting study recommendations, and save on unnecessary future expenditures.

  • Facility Type: Refinery

 Safety Knowledge Should be Shared...

“It should not be necessary for each generation to rediscover the principles of process safety which the generation before discovered. We must learn from the experience of others rather than learn the hard way. We must pass on to the next generation a record of what we have learned.” - Jesse C. Ducommun, Safety Pioneer
 
As Process Safety engineers and consultants, we believe our unique position creates a responsibility for Smith & Burgess to share our years of accumulated safety knowledge.
