PPI provides specialized engineering, technical services, and staffing to our energy-sector customers and supports them in designing and operating assets that are safe, reliable and compliant. We focus on managing risk with Test, Inspection, and Certification services.

Our team of experienced engineers, technical specialists, and subject matter experts craft reliable and cost-effective solutions.

  • First party – Independent verification and certification services (design appraisals, certification of assets, and certification of materials and components)
  • Second party – consulting and advisory services for our clients (technical risk management, asset integrity management, and asset optimization)
  • Third party – engineering services, including the secondment of subject matter experts to work directly in customer teams (staffing assistance, including engineering support and operations assurance).

Independent Verification of Installations

PPI works with owners and operators to determine safety-critical elements (SCE) and appropriate performance standards. We collaborate with customers to develop the verification scheme for the lifecycle of the installation.

The verification process examines the safety-critical equipment and the associated program of inspection and maintenance. It assures performance standards are achieved and maintained. Independent verification provides confidence to the operator and to regulators in the suitability of risk management measures. It also confirms that the plans for operation and maintenance meet appropriate standards.

From a risk-based perspective, PPI assesses the functionality of assets to ensure they will operate as expected, minimizing risks and maximizing performance. This service line encompasses the following types of studies:

  • Technical safety and risk management
  • Production assurance and reliability engineering Asset integrity management.

PPI specialists execute and lead different assessments including the following: Risk-based studies and workshops facilitation (e.g. HAZID, HAZOP, FMECA) Quantitative and analytical studies (e.g. RAM modeling, SIL verification, RBI) Qualitative studies (e.g. RCFA, RCM) Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
