THIRD PARTY VERIFICATION OF DESIGN
ITPEV is the evaluation and verification of the conceptual and technical soundness of a design or outcome by one or more independent third party. Independent third party engineers are qualified by their education, training, and experience in the same discipline, or closely related field of science, to assess the design’s likelihood of achieving the intended objectives and anticipated outcomes.
DESIGN VERIFICATION Providing Confidence That Your Design Meets Best Practice Standards

• Duty holders performance standards
• National regulatory requirements
• Regulatory guidance and associated approved codes of practice
• Recognized international standard (ISO/ IEC / DIN / BS etc)
• Standards from professional societies (ASME / API etc)
• Corporate standards
• Design specifications
Typical equipment and systems included within the design review of an offshore Oil & Gas facility includes:

• Hydrocarbon containment
• Topsides process equipment
• Risers and pipelines (rigid & flexible)
• Well integrity
• High integrity protection systems
• Collision warning systems
• Fire and gas detection systems
