Engineering Design Reviews
Technical Certainty Across the Full Project Lifecycle
Relief and flare system design requires precision, foresight, and adherence to both internal standards and regulatory requirements. At Smith & Burgess, we provide third-party engineering design reviews tailored to the process safety needs of industrial, chemical, petrochemical, and oil and gas facilities.
From early-stage concept evaluations to detailed design verification, our services are structured to reduce scope creep, catch inconsistencies, and eliminate costly rework. Whether you're working on a Greenfield facility or upgrading an existing unit, our experts ensure that your relief and flare systems are compliant, efficient, and ready for execution.
Our reviews are independent, rigorous, and aligned with owner/operator standards and RAGAGEP, including OSHA PSM (29 CFR 1910.119) and EPA RMP requirements.
Comprehensive Relief & Flare System Reviews at Every Stage
Conceptual Engineering
We help facility owners evaluate the feasibility and scale of required relief and flare systems early in the project lifecycle. Our conceptual engineering studies identify high-load scenarios, assess design impact, and reduce the risk of costly redesigns later.
FEED Engineering
During Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), our experts review relief and flare system designs to confirm sizing, validate assumptions, and ensure alignment with RAGAGEP and owner standards. We help clients avoid scope creep and optimize long-lead equipment decisions.
Detailed Engineering
Our detailed engineering reviews verify that final design packages are construction-ready and compliant. We examine changes since FEED, ensure relief scenarios are captured accurately, and support PSI documentation for OSHA PSM and EPA RMP compliance.
