Quantitative Risk Assessment software solutions

Important QRA tools for urban development

Gexcon’s QRA software solutions help safety experts at high hazard production and processing facilities understand the risks to employees, populations and the environment to support informed decision-making.

It takes multiple accident scenarios and assets into account to quantify individual, societal and consequence risk from the release of flammable or toxic fluid, fires, and explosions.

Used extensively in conjunction with our consequence modelling tools, QRA software highlights scenarios that contribute most to overall risk in the use, handling, transporting and storing of dangerous chemical substances.

LPG storage, the transportation of LNG by pipes and areas where chemicals such as ammonia are handled are typical industrial applications where QRA software plays a vital role.

It is also used to assess risk during the construction of new industrial facilities or when making significant changes to existing operations.

The QRA process starts with identifying the high hazard activities and defining and assessing loss of containment scenarios. The software is then used to calculate and and evaluate the risks from a number of perspectives: Individual Risk, Societal Risk and Consequence Risk.

Validated by many years of extensive research and acceptance from real world scenarios, safety experts can demonstrate that risks are as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). It also supports compliance with regulatory and corporate criteria.

Gexcon is committed to supporting the development of robust and error tolerant systems within complex high hazard environments.
