Your Questions, Answered

  • We provide operational and maintenance expertise to support projects and operating facilities across the energy and process industries. Our services include operational input during design development, operational readiness planning, commissioning and start-up support, functional safety assessments, operational reviews, and plant performance improvement.

  • Our key strength is bringing real operational and maintenance experience into projects. This practical insight helps identify operability, maintainability, and safety risks early in project development, reducing issues during commissioning and improving long-term plant performance.

  • We can support projects at multiple stages of the asset lifecycle, including detailed design, HAZOPs, operational readiness planning, commissioning, start-up, and steady-state operations.

  • No. While we are based in the UK, we are able to support projects and operating facilities globally, either remotely or on-site depending on project requirements.

  • Simply contact us through the enquiry form or email us directly. We will arrange an initial discussion to understand your project, operational challenges, and how our expertise may support your objectives.

  • Our services are typically provided on a project, daily rate, or short-term consultancy basis, depending on the scope and duration of support required.

  • Yes. We can provide independent operational reviews, audits, and assurance activities to help organisations identify operational risks, improve reliability, and strengthen operational performance.

  • Our experience spans multiple process industries including oil and gas, gas terminals, offshore production, power generation, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), chemical processing, and energy transition projects.

  • Support can be provided remotely, on-site, or through a hybrid approach, depending on the needs of the project. Many activities such as design reviews, HAZOP participation, documentation reviews, and operational planning can be delivered effectively remotely. Where appropriate, on-site support can also be provided to assist with commissioning, operational readiness activities, or plant reviews. We are happy to discuss the most effective approach for your project.

  • Yes. We can support Human Factors integration across both projects and operating facilities. This includes activities such as control room design reviews, operator workload analysis, safety critical task analysis, and operating procedure development, helping ensure facilities are designed and operated with the operator in mind.

  • Yes. We provide independent support to help organisations prepare facilities, systems, and teams for operation. This can include operational readiness planning, operating procedure reviews, maintenance strategy input, and readiness assessments prior to commissioning and start-up.

    Our focus is on ensuring the facility is practical to operate and maintain once handed over to operations.

  • Yes, we provide independent operational input and assessment to support commissioning and start-up activities. Our role is not to lead or execute commissioning, but to provide an experienced operational perspective to help ensure facilities are prepared for safe and reliable operation.

    This may include commissioning readiness reviews, operational input into procedures, start-up preparedness assessments, and independent assurance of operational readiness.

  • Early operational input helps ensure facilities are practical to operate and maintain. Identifying operability and maintenance risks during design and readiness phases can significantly reduce issues during commissioning and improve long-term plant reliability.
