At Smith & Burgess, we serve as a trusted partner to companies operating in high-risk, highly regulated industries. Our process safety services and relief and flare system expertise are designed to help industrial leaders maintain compliance, reduce operational risk, and safeguard their people and infrastructure.

What sets us apart is our deep understanding of each industry’s operational realities—from energy production and chemical processing to pharmaceutical and food manufacturing. We apply technical rigor and domain-specific insight to every project, ensuring our solutions are both practical and performance-driven.

Our work centers on overpressure protection, regulatory compliance, and safety lifecycle management. While we offer engineering support through third-party reviews, our core strength lies in the design, evaluation, and optimization of relief and flare systems across complex industrial processes. In regulated environments, third-party validation adds a layer of confidence—demonstrating that systems meet both internal and external standards without bias.

Each industry we support presents unique process hazards, compliance pressures, and operational risks. Our engineers and technical specialists:

• Design and validate relief and flare systems for safe, code-compliant operation
• Conduct PHAs, QRAs, and facility siting studies based on real-world risk conditions
• Navigate complex regulations including OSHA PSM, EPA RMP, API, FDA, and GMP
• Provide third-party engineering reviews for relief systems and related infrastructure

We don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. We develop targeted programs that support operational continuity, safety, and defensible compliance. Our cross-sector experience allows us to anticipate challenges, adapt proven methodologies, and deliver consistent results—regardless of industry or facility type.
