Large-Scale SFS Projects
Authors: Robert Davis, P.E., Consulting Engineer II; Stephanie Dux, Staff Engineer II
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires owner-users to maintain essential documentation authenticating adequate design and maintenance of pressure vessels and storage tanks. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to find equipment operating in industry with minimal or no documentation. In this article, Bob Davis and Stephanie Dux discuss how large-scale SFS projects are an efficient and effective way to evaluate equipment on a defined schedule. SFS projects provide guidance on roles and responsibilities, methodologies, assumptions, and documentation of results.
