Design Appraisal

What is design appraisal?
Engineering designs which have the potential to affect health, safety or the environment are normally required to be appraised by an independent, competent person/organisation. Design appraisal may be required at any stage of an asset's life including: conceptual design, detailed design, commissioning, during operation or disposal.

We provide a comprehensive design appraisal service covering all of our market sectors: oil & gas, petrochemical, power and niche markets (lifting appliances, containers etc.).

We are an independent and competent organisation that can assess for specified products whether an engineering design/its safety-related documentation and associated equipment is safe and in accordance with the appropriate regulations, codes and standards.

How we can help
Design appraisal is essentially based on reviewing design drawings and documentation. We can assist with establishing a schedule of drawings to be examined.
