Our Projects

Combined, we have over 50 years experience, gained on a variety of projects throughout the world. But no two engineering projects are alike.

Sometimes we manage a project from the very start and continue to be involved until the end reports. Other times we are brought in to provide specialist services in specific areas. Each brings different challenges. Each has different outcomes.

We would like to share just a few of these projects here.

QEM were asked to manage and chair the HAZCON studies for various National Grid pre-heat projects.
 

When completing any work connecting to the National Transmission System (NTS) it is a requirement to carry out a Formal Process Safety Assessment (HAZID, HAZOP, SWDS, HAZCON and HAZDEM as required) on the planned works.

QEM has various Senior Engineers qualified to carry out FPSAs on behalf of NGN, NG, SGN and Cadent. Our workshops uses ‘guidewords’ to trigger conversations about the effects of the works and how it will impact the Project and the team that are carrying out the work.

The meeting aims to identify and mitigate hazards in the design, construction, operation of the work. All topics were covered and any actions were taken away to be completed, this will need to be agreed by the group before the study can be concluded.

QEM provided a suitable Consultant in the form of a competent person with extensive gas network experience, with the QEM Solutions back-up to support.

  • Chair of FPSA Safety Study Meetings
