Safe, reliable and sustainable energy is everyone’s goal. Increased efficiencies have been realized in the hydroelectric and oil and gas sectors through modernization of legacy technologies, integration of new digital innovations and a greater use of automation and remote operation. Additionally, there has been increased interest in nuclear power with the development of new Small Modular Reactors and commercial fusion reactors.
Across energy sectors, real-time monitoring systems increasingly depend on advanced sensors to produce data to support critical decision making. Adding to the complexity in these large ‘systems of systems’ is that fact that legacy technology is now a part of the “internet of things” facing unknown threats with the potential to impact safety.
CSL draws on decades of experience identifying hazards and assessing the safety of highly integrated and inter-dependent “systems of systems”. We work with clients to manage safety risk, and support compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
