Hydrocarbon processing facilities handle flammable and hazardous products, often at high pressures and temperatures. This requires careful planning and design of projects to protect safety, cost, and avoid impacts on facility operation.
GHD has the multi-disciplinary engineering experience to handle the entire life cycle of oil and gas processing and pipeline projects, from conceptual design and routing to detail engineering and commissioning. We understand the variability and complexity of handling hydrocarbon gases and liquids and have designed projects including natural gas and natural gas liquids.
We work collaboratively with our client from onset of the project, beginning with an evaluation of the options. As projects progress from concept to detail design, we focus on meeting the project objectives and creating value for the client.
GHD delivers FEED services, including transient pipeline modelling, design basis development, and relief system design, sizing, and validation. Our team provides multi-discipline detailing, 3D modelling, vessel design, and piping stress and fatigue analysis. .
GHD can also support clients with project, procurement, and construction management alongside a range of safety services such as hazardous area classification design, SIL validation and verification, and consequence modelling. We offer assurance services such as owner's engineer and technical due diligence for asset transfers.
Clients turn to us knowing we have the depth and breadth of technical knowledge to solve complex challenges in these highly sensitive environments.
