We were invited by a large global financing and development institution to conduct a cumulative risk assessment of its three major industrial facilities in Nansha, Pearl River Delta, China and to review its industrial hazard risk management system.
The objective was to assist the company in fulfilling its safety philosophy founded on the need to effectively protect people and assets from potential accidents.
We carried out an on-site technical field review of the facilities which identified major risk items having potentially significant safety, environmental or financial impacts.
These findings were further refined following discussions with the customers' HSE department and the plant representatives. Baseline information was collected, then consolidated to compile a simulation model of the major hazard items identified. The simulation was done using internationally recognised simulation tools, PHAST and SAFETI.
In this assessment study, a number of potential hazard scenarios were identified.
Recommendations for reduction of risks were suggested and adopted.
The study also spotted areas of improvement for the existing ERP (Emergency Response Procedures).
Through this exercise, the customer obtained a clear and quantitative understanding of its safety level and received practical recommendations on maintaining its plant safety to an internationally recognised standard.
In view of changes made to Singapore QRA Guidelines (implemented in 2016), a Dutch storage major with a brown-field facility whereby the risk from the facility has not been assessed engaged BMT to carry out a Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) in accordance to both existing and new Singapore QRA Guidelines for the Terminal.
We were engaged to prepare designs to more than double the output of an existing barge loading facility in Kalimantan, Indonesia. The facility handles a number of different grades of coal to deliver a specified blend to each barge.
Together with Samsung C&T Corporation and Anatara Koh Pte Ltd, we provided offshore engineering consultancy and construction services for the Singapore LNG terminal secondary and tertiary berths at Jurong Island.
We assisted in the development of offshore oil facilities on Pulau Busing Island, off Singapore's busy south coast. The work was motivated by the increasing costs of oil, and our team was in place to assess a total engineering design and project management consultancy for four new jetties.
