Front-End Engineering & Design
Design Review
Design Review is an independent
assessment
of
the
project
engineering phase that can be
supplemented with independent
analyses, performed by our
specialist engineers.
Detailed Design
Investment
Decision
FEED
Verification is a scheme through
which Bureau Veritas, as an
Independent Verification Body
(IVB),
provides
Independent
Competent Persons (ICP) to verify
throughout
the
life
of
an
installation that the performance
standards, defined by the client for
each Safety Critical Element
(SCE), are achieved.
The safe design of all types of
equipment,
offshore
facilities
(structures and topsides), onshore
plants (from refineries to LNG
terminals) and pipelines, in standard
or extreme conditions (from desert to
arctic
environments),
can
be
assessed through certification or
verification schemes to suit our
clients' requirements.
Defined originally within UK North
Sea regulations, the implementation
of such schemes has become
common industry practice in key
areas of the Oil and Gas world, such
as the Middle East, Russia and Asia.
Bureau Veritas’ ICP workforce is
deployed and operates on large
verification projects in all these
areas.
Classification
Classification is the appraisal of
the level of compliance of a vessel
to the rules set up by the class
society.
Classification rules are developed to
contribute to the structural strength
and integrity of essential parts of the
hull, the safety and the reliability of
the propulsion and steering systems
and the effectiveness of essential
auxiliary systems of the ship. Bureau
Veritas classes all types of ships and
offshore floating units: oil tankers,
bulk carriers, passenger ships,
containerships, gas carriers, offshore
supply vessels, tugs and many
others.
Risk Evaluation
& Management
Verification
Risk Evaluation & Management is
defined as the assurance that
threats to integrity are identified
and properly addressed during the
asset whole lifecycle.
Risk Evaluation relies on the
performance of HAZID / HAZOP
workshops,
qualitative
and
quantitative risk assessment, Fire &
Explosion Risk Assessment, Smoke
& Toxic dispersion studies, Escape,
Evacuation Rescue Analysis,
Safety Integrity Level analyses for
Instrumented Protective Functions
are performed; certification of HIPS
systems can be delivered.
Bureau Veritas’ network of Technical
Centers deliver such studies using
modeling and risk assessment tools
like: PHAST Risk, LEAK, PHA Pro,
EFFECTS, CFX, FLACS, Optimise
(home tool for RAM studies), etc,.

Certification
Supplier Assessment
Certification of Installations means
the assurance that it has been
designed,
constructed,
commissioned and is operating in
compliance
with
a
defined
technical reference as far as safety
is concerned.
Supplier Assessment is a decision
tool for purchasers coping with
suppliers
qualification
in
consideration of their capabilities
to manufacture specified industrial
components or provide services.
Certification is by far the most
recognised and commonly delivered
service provided by Bureau Veritas
worldwide as an Independent Third
Party.
Bureau Veritas typical deliverable is
a gap assessment or analysis report
including recommendations to move
forward and follow-up suggestions.
Compliance
Shop / Site Inspection
Compliance: some countries or
zones have specific compliance
criteria that are a challenge for all
corporations.
Case
Study
Total CTG
Shop
Inspection
involves
inspecting items at their place of
manufacture before delivery.
Bureau Veritas helps clients to
ensure the compliance of products
and assemblies with local and/or
international regulations through:
Our qualified local teams are familiar
with inspecting all kinds of supplies:
materials and components, pressure
equipment, mechanical equipment
and machinery, electrical equipment
regarding applicable regulations or
other specific requirements.
• Support as a second party
• Certification as an independent
third party
• Product compliance studies
• Compliance market "intelligence"

All along your project life cycle
Project
Operation
RBI
Risk-Based
Inspection
is
a
process that identifies, assesses
and maps potential equipment
failures (e.g.: corrosion and stress
cracking).
During the RBI process, Bureau
Veritas engineers design inspection
strategies (what, when, where, how
to inspect) that match forecasted or
observed degradation mechanisms.
Risk-Based Approach applies to:
• Pressure vessels
• Pipelines
• Tanks
• Structures
Fugitive emissions
Fugitive emissions are generated
by leaks from process equipment
such as valves, flanges, piping.
This can result in safety, health,
environmental
and
reputation
concerns. Cost implications can
be significant.
Thanks to its methodology, Bureau
Veritas can set a robust fugitive Leak
Detection And Repair program which
will provide tangible benefits.
Bureau Veritas Fugitive emission
monitoring complies with the EPA
and European standards.
QRA
Risks must be identified in order to protect
plant workers, the people in the surrounding
area, the environment and the plant itself.
This requires a Quantified Risk Assessment
to demonstrate that risk levels are within the
defined criteria and are tolerable.

Design Review
Bureau Veritas is providing
design review services to BG
Tunisia for its Hasdrubal
Project in the Mediterranean
Gulf of Gabes. The project
includes a Normally Unmanned
Installation (NUI) connected by
110km of pipeline to a new
receiving installation on the
coast of Tunisia south of Sfax.
BG Tunisia is following the
design review “verification”
process,
which
is
now
recognised
by
many
international operators as the
best practice within the oil
industry.
Bureau
Veritas’
experience in its worldwide
network of Technical Centres
confirms the global trend
towards adoption of its goalsetting philosophy.
BG Tunisia’s approach is not
driven by regulations. Instead
they require third party checks
for their own assurance. The
design verification process
ensures confidence that all
safety critical elements are
correctly designed.
