Facility siting and layout optimisation software solutions
Facility siting and layout configuration are an essential part of the design process to create and expand safe, high hazard industrial facilities.
Whenever handling or processing flammable materials from gases, vapours, mists, or dusts there is significant risk of dangerous, explosive conditions.
Preventing loss of containment as well as minimising the consequences of explosions, is necessary to protect employees, properties and the environment.
Visualising equipment placement and incorporating safety measures and practises can be difficult using conventional layout practises.
Gexcon’s facility siting and layout optimisation software tools can be used to help all teams involved in the layout and planning process.
The software supports the calculation of risk, determination of safety distances and layout optimisation to support risk-based decisions throughout the lifecycle of facilities.
Combined with quantitative risk assessment tools, designers and facility operators can generate an accurate picture to prevent escalation events that threaten human life, assets and the natural world.
Gexcon is committed to supporting the development of robust and error tolerant systems within complex high hazard environments.

Latest facility siting and layout optimisation webinars
Using FLACS-Fire on real cases: a user experience – FLUG Week 2021
The aim of the presentation is to highlight some of the aspects which have a significant impact on the effectiveness and the efficiency of an analysis process using FLACS-Fire.
Webinar: Dust hazard analysis and prevention, the hierarchy of controls and practical implementation
This webinar breaks down the logical steps required in a practical and structured way to demonstrate that the hazards related to fire and explosions have been assessed and reduced to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) in order to demonstrate regulatory compliance.
Webinar: Is your facility safe? Lessons learned from LNG incidents
The session focuses on examining case studies for two incidents that have significantly impacted the LNG industry: the massive 2004 explosion at the Skikda LNG Liquefaction Facility and the 1944 Cleveland Disaster.
