• Pipeline transport of hazardous materials (petroleum liquids, LPG, natural gas)
• Transport of hazardous materials in waterways (open and inland waterways, packaged goods and bulk tankers)
• Water treatment plants
• Sewage treatment plants
• Power generation

Services for the above industries cover a wide range of studies:

• HAZID, risk assessment studies and route selection studies for hazardous substances road transport
• Impact of dangerous goods rail transport on land uses/ developments along the rail corridor
• Risk from cross-country pipelines carrying hazardous substances through populated areas
• Assessment of escalation risks in pipeline corridors
• Risk assessment of intermediate pumping stations/ compression stations/ pipeline valve spacing
• RAM analysis for water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants and power generation facilities
• Facilitation of HAZID/ HAZOP/ CHAZOP studies for water treatment and sewage treatment plants, and power stations
• Handling of hazardous substances in ports (ship/shore transfer of bulk and packaged flammable, toxic and explosive materials)
