ORS Consulting provides leading third-party integrity management solutions, including barrier strategy development, bow-tie analysis, risk-based maintenance, and Integrated Design Review (IDR). SERVICES Barrier Management Up Anchor 1 Barrier Management is a framework for the identification of major accident risks and continuous risk management throughout a complete asset lifecycle. Integrity management ensures that systems, operational procedures and organization perform their function effectively to avoid incidents and accidents. Integrity management comprises a variety of risk assessments, including barrier management, integrated design reviews, risk-based maintenance and obsolescence management. ORS Consulting is a leading third-party integrity management solutions provider. We are helping businesses and facilities perform barrier strategy development, bow-tie analysis, risk-based maintenance and Integrated Design Review (IDR), amongst others. Barrier Management Related Studies Barrier Strategy Development Barrier strategy development involves establishing a strategy for how a project or asset operation will manage the accident risk, and to ensure that barriers are designed and maintained to ensure an acceptable risk level. Bow-tie Analysis Bow tie diagrams are powerful tools for managing major accident hazards and communication of key risk drivers. It typically involves creating a bow-tie diagram, which illustrates the chain of causes and consequences related to a hazard, and its barriers and mitigating measures. Performance Standards Performance standards are requirement specifications established for barrier functions or elements, as input for design and operation of a system. Among others, performance standards can give requirements related to reliability, maintenance and operability. Risk-based Maintenance Risk-based maintenance (RBM) is a maintenance strategy that prioritizes risk-sensitive systems and machinery, applicable for all industries. An RBM helps businesses to plan maintenance processes based on the probability of failure, possible effects (consequences), and calculated costs. Barrier Management System Implementation Barrier management system implementation involves establishing and maintaining barriers in a facility so that risks can be managed and operational excellence can be achieved. It involves establishing technical, operational and organizational barriers against major accidents or incidents, and ensure that the barriers are maintained throughout the asset lifecycle. Optimization of Test Intervals The probability of failure of machinery or safety critical systems largely depends on the frequency of testing or preventive maintenance. Optimization of test intervals involves determining the optimum maintenance or test tasks that ensures high reliability, and at the same time minimizing downtime. Optimization of test intervals is typically performed in conjunction with performance monitoring of Safety Instrumented Systems. Obsolescence Management Obsolescence describes a situation in which a part, equipment, or service is no longer available even when it is still needed. Obsolescence management helps organizations to forecast, monitor, and plan when they are at risk of having obsolete parts, service, or equipment. It helps to reduce the risks associated with obsolescence. Root Cause Analysis Root cause describes a factor that caused a non-conformance in a system, component, or organization. A root cause analysis (RCA) is a problem-solving process that is used to identify these factors and provide approaches to preventing them. It may also provide a means of responding to them. Integrated Design Reviews (IDR) Integrated Design Review (IDR) is a method used to scrutinize project interface and is efficient for projects and assets with multiple stakeholders. This methodology focuses on the functionality of an integrated facility, and it aims to mitigate risks and ensure safe and efficient operations in these facilities. Risk-based Inspection (RBI) Risk-based inspection (RBI) involves quantitative and qualitative assessment of the probability of failure, possible consequences, and costs associated with systems and machinery. The information obtained from this assessment helps businesses to determine design flaws and potential damages, as well as the location of possible dangers resulting from failures.

Safety Management is a fundamental activity for all projects and asset operations. Regardless of industries, a project needs to fulfill technical risk-related requirements from local and regional authorities, international standards, and end clients. Navigating the complexity of regulatory compliance requires both experience and a specific skillset in safety management. SERVICES Safety and Compliance Up Anchor 1 Safety Management is a fundamental activity for all projects and asset operations. Regardless of industries, a project needs to fulfil technical risk related requirements from local and regional authorities, international standards and end clients. Navigating the complexity of regulatory compliance requires both experience and a specific skillset in safety management. ORS frequently supports projects, from early concept to, and including, operational phase with safety management. This includes activities such as: Establish the regulatory framework that defines all relevant legal and contractual requirements; Prepare a HSE road map for a project or throughout asset lifecycles; Follow-up and manage technical risk management activities. This includes liaison with various stakeholders and contractors, follow-up of third-party studies, ensuring involvement from all relevant disciplines, and ensuring continuity in the risk management activities. Safety and Compliance Related Studies Project Risk Assessment Project risk assessment is a hands-on application of risk management to ensure that a project is meeting its targets in terms of cost, schedule and HSE. It includes identification of project risks, continuous monitoring and adjustments, as well as identification of measures to control the risk. Project risk assessment allows businesses to make the best choice from the available options needed to achieve a project’s objective. Risk-based interface management Risk-based interface management involves defining, controlling, and communicating information needed to make unrelated services, processes, or equipment co-function. Risk-based interface management assesses and mitigates the possible risks when working with contractors, subcontractors, and clients. Operational Readiness Review An Operational Readiness Review (ORR) is a thorough, proof-based appraisal of the project state before entering operation. ORRs are undertaken to ensure that all activities during engineering process are completed, all critical systems been tested and validated and confirm correct handover to operations. The ORR is a final validation to ensure a safe transition to operational phase for project deliverables. Cybersecurity risk assessment Cybersecurity Risk Assessment serves as a pivotal section of the modern company. Modern companies tend to create operations on a technological platform and, as such, are exposed to the risk of hackers and loss of data. Cybersecurity risk assessment is performed to expose an organization’s vulnerabilities to such attacks and provide solutions. Regulatory Compliance In all industries, all businesses need to comply with regulations from local and regional authorities, industry standards and requirements from end clients within the area of safety and HSEQ. Regulatory compliance is a continuous activity ensuring that relevant requirements are identified, and that the correct decisions are made to avoid delays, business interruptions or accelerated costs. HSE Road Map The HSE Road Map is an activity and document prepared in the initial phase of a project to ensure that the regulatory requirements are identified and that the technical risk management activities are planned to ensure efficient project execution and compliance with HSE-related requirements. Safety Strategy The Safety Strategy is a cornerstone of safety design in a project and is comparable with the technical design basis of a project.

Learn more about what is Environmental Risk Assessment (ENVID) and why to perform it, from ORS Consulting Experts. SERVICES Environmental Risk Assessment (ENVID) What is ENVID? Environmental Impact Identification (ENVID) is a structured examination of environmental aspects for a facility for early identification of environmental concerns that may affect environment. The outcome of an ENVID is used to optimize the design and operational philosophy to minimize environmental impact. An ENVID is typically performed as a multi-discipline workshop. Why perform an ENVID? ENVID study is performed to; Identify acute or continuous sources of emission, discharge and waste for an asset or activity; Identify mitigating measures included in design to minimize environmental impact; Propose further mitigating measures to prevent, reduce or control identified sources of emission, discharge and waste; ENVID Study Methodology The ENVID study is carried out as a multidisciplinary workshop with participants from relevant disciplines and operational personnel. The workshop comprises of discussion of environmental hazards consequences, and typically including a coarse risk assessment for each hazard raised, practice and procedures and barrier elements (the corresponding control and mitigation measures). The ENVID review follows a methodology analogous to a Hazard Identification (HAZID) . The ENVID applies a set of guidewords suitable for identification of hazards and sources of emission, discharge and waste. Some examples of ENVID parameters and guidewords: Contact ORS Consulti ng to identify the potential environmental risks associated with your project.

Learn from experts Dario Pozza and David Garden about the latest techniques and benefits of dynamic modelling for flare systems. Perfect for professionals in the design, operation, and safety of offshore installations and onshore plants. Register now! Finished Flare System Dynamic Modelling - Approaches & Values This webinar from ORS will present the common approaches used to apply dynamic modelling techniques for Flare systems as well as benefits of undertaking such a study. The team will share experience obtained from previous projects undertaken for installations in the UK and Norwegian Continental Shelf. WATCH REPLAY Flare systems for offshore installations and onshore plants are a critical piece of equipment, which provide safe relief of inventory during both routine operations as well as emergency situations. Their design is often complex and comprised of multiple headers and sources from the entire complex, making it difficult to understand and predict their behavior. Dynamic modelling is a technique used to perform time-dependent analysis of a system, which can be applied to flare systems to investigate any potential operating or emergency scenarios and validate more traditional 'steady-state' assumptions. This is equally useful as a verification exercise for existing systems as well as during the design phase for brownfield modifications and can often result in significant CAPEX and OPEX savings on projects.

Enhance safety and risk assessment with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Simulate fires, explosions and toxic releases to predict hazardous event outcomes and support informed decision-making. SERVICES Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) INTRODUCTION Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are essential tools in modelling hazardous events like fires, explosions, and toxic releases. By solving complex equations that describe fluid flow, heat transfer, and chemical reactions, CFD provides detailed insights into how these events unfold. This information is crucial for understanding the behaviour of hazardous materials such as Hydrocarbons, Hydrogen, Ammonia, CO2, NOx, etc. and predicting their impact on the environment and human health. APPLICATIONS OF CFD IN HAZARDOUS EVENT MODELLING Fires CFD can simulate different types of fires such as jet fires and pool fires with their associated heat and duration, as well as the spread of smoke. CFD is helping to design effective gas detection systems, fire suppression systems and evacuation plans. Explosions CFD models can model explosions in confined and unconfined areas (e.g vapour cloud explosions – VCEs), predict blast wave propagation and structural damage, aiding in the development of safer building designs and protective measures. Releases of hazardous fluids CFD simulations can model the dispersion of harmful substances in the air or water (e.g., subsea releases), enabling authorities to implement timely and effective response strategies. CFD can reveal the presence of accumulation zones where hazardous gas accumulates despite the presence of ventilation. BENEFITS OF CFD Integrating CFD simulations into Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRA) enhances the accuracy and reliability of risk evaluations. By providing a detailed, scenario-specific analysis, CFD helps identify potential hazards, assess their likelihood, and evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation measures. This comprehensive approach supports informed decision-making, ensuring that safety measures are both effective and efficient, ultimately protecting lives and property.’ CFD is often a tool of choice to support the decision-making process, especially in situations where the consequences of a hazardous event are difficult to predict with engineering judgement or simpler models, but foreseen to be potentially severe. CFD simulations would in these cases help reaching a consensus between the project stakeholders. CFD software are powerful tools which can perform thousands of different scenarios in a few hours and allows for flexibility. The 3D models used in the simulations and the parameters defining the scenario (e.g., fluid composition, wind conditions, ignition location) can be easily adjusted to reflect the latest configuration of your plant, process or equipment and enables performing sensitivity calculations. CFD modelling yet requires expertise in order to generate accurate and credible scenario. Although most of the CFD software available today are robust and can generate results whatever the inputs are, one must be careful with the interpretation of the results. A scenario wrongly set-up, a poor quality of the mesh/grid, may lead to under- or over-estimating the outcomes of a hazardous event (e.g., too low fire radiation or explosion pressures) and will lead to incorrect conclusions. Hence it is recommended to seek support from competent personnel to perform the work. OUR EXPERTISE IN CFD ORS has worked with numerous projects involving CFD studies and our experts will be able to support you in your request. Please feel free to reach out in case you would like to discuss more about our CFD services.
