Comprehensive Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Support for Downstream Oil and Gas
SafeRack provides front-end engineering design (FEED) studies and full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) support under one roof. Our team of industry experts is available for consultation months—even years—before a project reaches its Final Investment Decision (FID). Engaging early in the process ensures a well-planned, cost-effective solution that enhances downstream oil and gas safety solutions and operational efficiency.
The FEED phase serves as the foundation for EPC execution, outlining the engineering design used to guide procurement and construction. These studies are typically divided into separate packages, covering different portions of the project to ensure seamless integration.
Unlike other manufacturers that claim EPC capabilities, SafeRack brings specialized expertise in fuel loading, truck and railcar loading safety solutions, and bulk liquid transfer safety equipment. Our deep knowledge of oil and gas downstream solutions ensures a superior, scalable, and cost-efficient system that meets the evolving demands of fuel terminal loading platforms and refined product transportation safety.
FAQ
SafeRack’s self-adjusting gangways provide safe, OSHA-compliant access to tank trucks, railcars, and barges transporting crude oil, natural gas liquids, and refined fuels. Equipped with four-rail safety cages and available in powered options, our gangways minimize fall risks and ensure safe, efficient loading and unloading in high-volume energy operations.
Yes. SafeRack’s carbon steel loading arms are built to safely transfer a wide range of energy products, including crude oil, LNG, and petrochemicals. With PTFE-sealed swivel joints for chemical resistance and vapor recovery systems for EPA compliance, these arms are designed to withstand harsh environments while maintaining safety and efficiency.
SafeRack provides a range of spill containment solutions, including pans, berms, and wheel chocks, to capture leaks during the transfer of oil, gas, and petrochemicals. These systems help energy facilities stay compliant with EPA regulations while protecting workers and the environment from hazardous spills.
Grounding is critical in energy operations to prevent static discharge, which can ignite flammable vapors during the transfer of crude oil, LNG, and refined fuels. SafeRack’s grounding and bonding systems ensure a secure ground connection before product flow begins, reducing fire and explosion risks and maintaining compliance with OSHA and NFPA standards.
Absolutely. SafeRack offers customizable access solutions, including gangways, platforms, stairs, and fall protection systems, specifically designed for the complex needs of energy facilities. Our modular systems are built to withstand harsh environments while improving worker safety and operational efficiency.
