Third Party Reviews

Independent reviews by professionals who understand specific industries, conditions of use, and the applicable safety standards

Facilities with regulatory requirements, or with high fire or explosion risk exposure, generally require an independent review of modifications and new designs to confirm that hazards are identified and protection is effective.

These reviews assess the correctness, completeness, and appropriateness of a design package and confirm the system meets applicable standards. Moreover, even when independent reviews aren’t mandated, they offer a very cost-effective means of enhancing designs and preventing costly fixes later on.
