Design of high-hazard and potentially hazardous facilities

Hazardous facilities design, encompassing high-hazard and technically complex production assets, requires an exceptional level of engineering responsibility, rigorous risk modeling, and strict compliance with national safety legislation. Codes impose separate requirements on high-hazard and technically complex facilities: risk calculations, an industrial safety declaration, safety justification and stricter expert review. The company holds a licence to design such facilities and runs them to the supervisory authorities’ requirements. Across Tashkent, the Tashkent Region, and throughout Uzbekistan, the specialized engineering center GEO PRO delivers turnkey hazardous facilities design with guaranteed approval from state expert review and industrial safety supervisory bodies (Sanoatkontexnazorat).

In heavy chemical, petrochemical, metallurgical, and power plants, minor design oversights in vessel pressure containment, emergency automated interlocks, or blast-resistant barriers can lead to severe industrial accidents. Professional hazardous facilities design eliminates the risks of catastrophic releases, ensures the complete safety of on-site personnel and neighboring communities, and optimizes capital investments in automated safety instrumented systems (SIS).

When Professional Hazardous Facilities Design is Essential

In accordance with the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities” and national ShNK / KMK building regulations, certified hazardous facilities design is mandatory for the following categories of operations:

• Facilities involved in the extraction, processing, transportation, and bulk storage of crude oil, natural gas, and volatile hydrocarbons;
• Chemical and petrochemical plants manufacturing, processing, or storing toxic, flammable, oxidizing, and explosive substances;
• Metallurgical complexes handling molten ferrous and non-ferrous metals and high-temperature smelting furnaces;
• Open-pit mines, underground mining excavations, mineral processing mills, and tailings storage facilities (TSF);
• Large-scale industrial explosive storage magazines, commercial ammonia refrigeration plants, and toxic chemical warehouses;
• High-pressure trunk gas distribution networks, compressor stations, and high-hazard hydraulic storage dams;
• Specialized industrial facilities handling ionizing radiation sources and hazardous chemical waste containment.

What We Do: Full-Cycle Hazardous Facilities Design

The licensed industrial design and engineering division at GEO PRO handles the complete lifecycle of design documentation:

• surveys and design of high-hazard facilities;
• developing industrial safety sections and emergency response measures;
• accident risk calculations and facility safety justification;
• support during state expert review and with supervisory authorities;
• comprehensive geotechnical, seismic micro-zonation, and environmental field investigations;
• engineering automated process control systems (DCS) and emergency shutdown systems (ESD / PAZ);
• drafting accident localization and liquidation plans (PLAS) and emergency containment protocols.

Special Safety Sections and Quantitative Risk Assessment

When delivering professional hazardous facilities design, our certified engineers place paramount importance on specialized safety engineering chapters:

• Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis: Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) applying HAZID and HAZOP methodologies, blast wave propagation modeling, thermal radiation mapping, and toxic cloud dispersion simulations;
• Industrial Safety Declaration: Comprehensive declaration validating the sufficiency of implemented protective barriers and facility preparedness for emergency containment;
• Civil Defense and Emergency Response: Engineering protective civil defense shelters, automated early-warning siren networks, and real-time hazardous gas detection grids;
• Environmental Protection (EIS / ZVOS): Atmospheric emission dispersion modeling, industrial effluent treatment design, and environmental risk mitigation systems;
• Explosion Proofing and Fire Protection: Area classification for explosive gas/dust atmospheres, automated deluges, gaseous fire suppression, and foam extinguish systems.

Computational Accuracy and Statutory Compliance

High-precision hazardous facilities design is founded on validated hydrodynamic models, dynamic structural blast-resistance simulations, and gas dispersion modeling. GEO PRO engineers hold extensive practical experience defending complex engineering decisions before the State Expertise Board and the State Committee for Industrial Safety of the Republic of Uzbekistan, ensuring rapid project permitting without technical delays.
