EPCM · FEED · Feasibility · Process Safety
Engineering projects delivered safely, from concept to start-up.
Safety in Process is an independent engineering consultancy helping operators plan, design and deliver capital projects in process industries.
Independent & client-side
We represent the owner's interests, not a construction contractor's. Our recommendations are driven by what's best for your plant.
Safety engineered in
Process safety isn't a sign-off at the end. HAZID, HAZOP, LOPA, SIL and functional safety (IEC 61508/61511) feed the design from day one, and we also offer them as standalone studies for existing plants.
Commercially grounded
Every engineering decision is tested against CAPEX, schedule and operability. If it doesn't stack up, we say so.
What we do
Four core services across the project lifecycle.
Feasibility shapes the idea. FEED de-risks the decision. EPCm delivers the build. Process safety runs through all of it.
EPCm
We take your sanctioned project through detailed design, vendor selection, construction oversight and commissioning, managing the work without the risk profile of a lump-sum EPC contract.

Front-End Engineering Design
Once a project is feasible, FEED defines the scope, cost and schedule precisely enough for a sanction decision. We produce the drawings, specifications and estimates your board needs to commit CAPEX with confidence.

Feasibility Studies
Feasibility studies test whether an idea is worth pursuing. We work with your team to define options, rough-order estimates, technical risk, and the questions the next stage of work has to answer. Our output is a decision, not a document.

SpecialismProcess Safety
Process Safety is our specialism and the reason for the company name. We facilitate HAZID and HAZOP workshops, carry out LOPA, determine and verify SIL targets, and deliver Functional Safety work to IEC 61508 and IEC 61511. We do this as a standalone service for existing plants, and as an integrated thread through every FEED and EPCm project we run.
