Design Review

Providing confidence that your design achieves regulatory and best practice standards

Summary

Design review is an independent review of the design intent of an engineered system or process, as defined by documented standards. The scope of review will normally include structures, vessels, pipelines, and safety systems.
The review process also aims to identify errors or failures in the design or operation of the engineered systems and processes.

Bureau Veritas technical centres provide two types of systematic design review according to your clients; either a 100% appraisal of the design against relevant design standards or a verification (sampling) review against standards defined by the facility operator. The latter is based on the goal setting approach which originates with UK safety case regulations and verification against Design and Construction Regulations (DCR) and Prevention of Fire, Explosion and Emergency Response (PFEER). We also provide design review for marine classification certificates and the Marine Equipment Directive (MED)..

Benefits

• Provides confidence that your asset design is compliant with well-proven standards
• Your asset is compliant with guidelines that draw on the best-practice experience of the oil and gas industry
• Where design review is required by regulation, a certificate is provided as evidence of
  compliance
• By confirming that the design is based on best practice standards, the review also contributes to demonstrations that risks are As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)
