Exhibit Hall 5 (Austin Convention Center)
Advancing in construction methodology and minimizing footprint of process area in the recent years requires more focus on process safety and facility siting. Previously, most of the engineering companies used spacing table to define the distances between occupied building and source of hazard.
Conducting performance and risk based studies to place the occupied buildings in a safe location is of a great importance. In addition, identifying buildings containing safety critical element (SCE) requires further investigation to ensure the process will not be interrupted in any event that might impact the building. Consequence and Risk analyses ensure that the risk to these buildings is mitigated to ALARP ( As Low As Reasonably Practicable).
Atkins Consulting Canada Ltd. has developed a method to apply process safety studies (HAZID, Consequence Modeling, QRA ,etc) in facility siting and equipment arrangement.
