Asset Integrity Management

Our robust AIM services are designed to deliver resources that improve performance and uptime while simultaneously reducing costs and minimizing risks. We provide owners and operators with a clear understanding of an asset's condition for enhanced decision-making, ultimately driving more reliable operations.

Project Due Diligence

Identify, quantify and mitigate the health, safety, environmental, financial and technical risks of large offshore and marine projects. Our services include feasibility studies, independent engineering review and analysis, construction monitoring, regulatory compliance guidance and third-party inspections.

Risk Assessments

Understand your specific vulnerabilities with risk assessments. From quantitative and probabilistic software-based risk modeling to qualitative hazard assessment, we can help you design an overall risk management system or conduct a specific analysis.

Asset Reliability and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)

Our asset performance management solutions and integrated global EAM services range from EAM strategy and business process improvement to asset reliability analysis and mechanical integrity programs to full implementation and support of all major computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) and EAM systems technology.

Natural Hazard Risk Management

Our Natural Hazard Risk Management teams can support you to understand your exposure and vulnerability to hazards such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods.

Physical Security Risk Management

Physical Security Risk Management is essential to keeping facilities, staff and the surrounding environment safe. Our team of engineers can support with protective design, security, threat and vulnerability assessments and regulatory compliance.

Explosion and Thermal Hazards

Risk of fire and blast related incidents at liquid terminals is a potentialrisk that could have adverse effects for both a facility and the surrounding environment. Our experts can support with blast and fire consequence modeling.

Quantitative Risk Assessments

Quantitative Risk Assessments provide a more thorough understanding of the potential events that may affect the safe and economic operation of potentially hazardous facilities in the Oil, Gas and Chemical, Power and Energy, Marine and Offshore industries. Using a systematic evaluation of the possible hazards, their consequences and frequency, ABS Group develops quantitative risk assessments to evaluate the effects of hazard prevention and mitigation systems and to assess their relative contribution to safer facility operations. 

Network Monitoring and Managed Services

Our Industrial Network Monitoring and Managed Services provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your OT networks, management of threats and 24/7 monitoring for potential attacks.

Supply Chain Cyber Risk Management

Our services are focused on managing the risks you inherit from your suppliers and providers to prevent, minimize and control your exposure and detect vulnerabilities.

New Construction

To minimize threats, cybersecurity must be factored into the initial design and planning stages. Our cyber risk management solutions help ensure high productivity and less down-time.

Cyber Risk Management for MTSA-Regulated Facilities

We offer a range of cybersecurity services to help port and terminal facilities around the U.S. to implement a comprehensive cyber risk management program to meet existing MTSA-regulated facilities guidelines and regulations.

Process Safety Management Programs and Audits

We tailor PSM programs and audits to suit your unique needs, while delivering results that satisfy regulatory requirements and fit each company's organizational culture. ABS Group has developed model written programs for all of the OSHA PSM elements.

Incident Investigation and Response

Through on-site support, investigation activities and follow-up, we can help you return to safe operations. Not only can we perform the investigation, we can manage the overall organizational response to the incident, including interfaces with regulators (OSHA, EPA, CSB, FDA, DOE, BSEE, etc.), insurance companies and attorneys.

Process Hazard Analysis

We can work with your staff to provide a full range of PHA services including HAZOP analysis, what-if/checklists, HAZID studies, FMEA or other appropriate methodologies.
