Fedem Engineering offers specialised service in Technical Safety and Risk Assessment. We perform Risk, Safety, Environmental and Reliability studies and offer our clients cost effective engineering services through all phases of engineering.. Our experience include:

​

  • Workshop Facilitation 

  • Safety Engineering - 

  • Qualitative and Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)

  • Fire Detection and Fire Protection System Design 

  • Environmental Risk Assessments and Management

  • Functional Safety Engineering

Workshop Facilitation

Technical review workshops are necessary for all engineering design projects and in some cases following a major incident event. The objectives of these technical reviews are to highlight or classify significant issues which may have been otherwise overlooked. It is important that such review sessions are led by a strong chairperson with working knowledge of the issues and understanding of the review process.

​

Fedem Engineering is able to provide such candidates. We have a selection of dedicated Chairpersons with significant industry experience able to facilitate workshops. Our Chairpersons have a history in executing and coordinating the following workshops:

​

  • Hazard Identification Tools (HAZID)

  • Hazard and Operability (HAZOP technique)

  • Offshore Activities Risk Assessment Review

  • BOWTIE

  • Safety Integrity Level (SIL Assessment)

  • Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA)

  • Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)

  • Reliability Operability Maintenance (ROM)

  • Environmental Identification (ENVID Workshop)

Safety Engineering

Fedem Engineering is a specialist provider of the following safety studies to identify process or non-process hazards, analyse their effects and assess the risks associated with the facilities or operations during normal operations or simultaneous operations (SIMOPS):​

​

  • Fire and Explosion Hazards Analysis (FERA/FEA/FRA)

  • Gas Dispersion and Smoke Ingress Analysis (GDSI)

  • Exhaust Vent Study

  • Blast and Overpressure Analysis

  • Hazardous Area Classification

  • Firewater Demand and Hydraulic Analysis

Qualitative and Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)

Qualitative Risk Assessments and Quantitative Risk Assessments are specialised methods for calculating risks to individuals, public (societal risk), the environment and/or assets. As part of the formal safety assessment required in the project HSE management, a QRA is highly demanded by our clients to identify major accident hazards and reduce the significant risk contributor according to the As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) principle.

​

Fedem Consulting has extensive experience in providing QRAs for normal operations and SIMOPS with other value added analyses to assist our clients in decision making to achieve ALARP within their proposed project CAPEX/OPEX. The f team is able to effectively:

Fire Detection and Fire Protection System Design

At Fedem, we have team of specialists who provides fire risk assessment and fire risk safety engineering design to ensure fires and smoke are detected at the onset of the events and appropriate controls and mitigations safeguards are provided to protect people and their environments from the destructive effects of fires and smoke.

​

Fedem also provides guidance to our clients in the selection of appropriate systems in accordance with the best industry practices and client specifications. Our specialist services include:

​

  • Fire, Heat and Smoke Detection System Design

  • Active and Passive Fire Protection Design

  • Fire Dynamics Analysis/ Fire Effects Modelling

​

Environmental Risk Assessment and Management

Fedem's environmental impact assessment service helps the stakeholders with the identification of the environmental, social and economic impacts of a proposed development before a decision is taking on whether or not to proceed. Particular attention is given in our environmental risk assessment practice to preventing, mitigating and offsetting the significant adverse effects of proposed undertakings.

​

Our specialist services are as follows

​

  • Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

  • EIA Scoping

  • Best Available Technique (BAT) Assessment

  • Environmental Review/ENVID

Functional Safety Engineering

The fundamentals of Functional Safety have been further highlighted in the industry through highly publicised asset integrity disasters. The importance of following Functional Safety Lifecycle in accordance with IEC 61508 / 61511 standards is key as concepts have become embedded in regulatory requirements. 

Functional Safety studies are performed with the objective of providing assurance that safety related systems offer the appropriate level of risk reduction to achieve the required protection for equipment.
 

Fedem Consulting provides functional safety assurance by reviewing engineering design with an aim to:

​

  • Reduce the likelihood of systematic failures

  • Improve compliance with regulatory bodies

  • Enhance the overall process safety management

  • Support demonstration of continuous improvement in safety culture

​

We use our in-house developed software tools primarily for Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) studies.

​

Fedem consultants have undertaken intensive training and are certified Functional Safety Engineers. We are able to assist our clients in the following:

​

  • Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Workshops

  • Verification and Validation

  • Functional Safety Assessments

  • Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA)

  • SIS Design

  • Safety Requirement Specification Development

  • Functional Safety Audits
