The UK chemical industry is the biggest manufacturing exporter and is crucial to maintaining a strong economy. The industry inherently needs a permanent spend to keep plants running. This means a constant stream of maintenance and shutdown projects, often being run from our clients' CAPEX and needing a keen eye on efficiency, value, and cost.
At GHD, we develop integrated solutions that maximise these outcomes for our clients using our wealth of technical knowledge and multi-disciplinary skills. Our team includes skilled process, mechanical, electrical, control, instrumentation, civil and structural engineering, and process safety design staff. We work with clients across the sector, including chemical processing, industrial effluent and water treatment, dairy, and compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas fuelling organisations.
We support clients across all project stages, from feasibility, planning and FEED, to detailed design, and project and asset management. We use our industry knowledge to work on anything from finite element analysis up to fully integrated multi-disciplinary industrial plant design.
GHD has provided operational support for a number of our clients' businesses, delivering value they can replicate across their organisation. We undertake site and asset surveys, appraisal and investigations, construction methodology advice, process audits, optimisation and debottlenecking studies. Our comprehensive site investigations and commissioning or start up assistance helps to ramp up project momentum from the early stages.
We are trusted as a safety leader and act as Principal Designer under CDM Regulations. Our wider safety assurance services include HAZID, HAZOP, HAZCON, and HAZCOM study facilitation, as well as LOPA and SIL studies, hazardous area classification, and DSEAR compliance.
At the heart of GHD's service is a core team of experienced process, mechanical, control, instrumentation, and structural engineers. We will provide you with the perfect balance of multi-disciplinary assurance and industry-specific technical knowledge to drive your project forward and achieve maximum efficiency from your sites and projects.
