AS 1210
Pressure Vessels
AS 1210 provides crucial guidelines for the design, construction, and inspection of pressure vessels, including air receivers and process filtration vessels. Particularly important for our oil and gas clients, strict adherence to these regulations is necessary to prevent catastrophic failures and ensure the safe, reliable operation of pressure equipment.

AS 4343
Pressure Equipment
Hazard Levels
AS 4343 classifies pressure equipment into different hazard levels based on potential risks. These classifications directly influence the regulatory requirements that designers, fabricators, and operator-owners must follow, helping to mitigate the risks of pressure equipment failures and ensuring safer industrial operations.

AS 1657
Fixed Platforms, Walkways, Stairways and Ladders
AS 1657 sets the standards for the design, construction, and installation of fixed platforms, walkways, stairways, and ladders to ensure a safe working environment, particularly with our industrial clients. From small-scale installations to major industrial projects, we ensure compliance with these critical safety regulations which are often overlooked but essential for protecting workers and maintaining operational safety.
