Pressure Systems

- Vessels (columns, reactors, heat exchangers, boilers)
- Protective devices / relief streams
- Pipelines & piping
- Tanks
- Drawing up and certifying Written Schemes of Examination (WSE)
- Control of modifications and repairs
All our procedures and associated guidance notes are consistent with the requirements of:
- Pressure Systems and Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR)
- Pipeline Safety Regulations 1996 (PSR)
- Control of Major Hazards Regulations 1999 (COMAH)
- Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER)

All our clients receive personal access to the rak Pressure Systems inspection database. This provides electronic access to Written Schemes of Examination for each asset, as well as inspection reports, defect lists, and other supporting information such as NDT reports and photographs. This makes it easy for our clients to demonstrate their compliance when handling their own internal or external Audits.
