Hu-Tech are a leading supplier of Human Factors Engineering (HFE) services to the Energy industries and a preferred supplier to a number of major oil/gas operating companies and engineering contractors. We are proud to have supported over 150 capital projects around the world including UK, Europe, Africa, the Americas, the Gulf Nations, Asia and Australasia.
We specialise in translating requirements from International Standards and HF guidance (Such as IOGP 454) into workable and practical HFE scope for design, construction and operation. We are experienced in providing HFE support to engineering design projects from Concept, through FEED and Detailed Design, to Operation phases. We undertake discrete assessments (e.g. PUWER, incident investigation) on operating assets, and providing HFE training courses and awareness seminars. We chair Safety Studies, such as Critical Task screening and Human Reliability Assessment workshops, as well as contributing HF into HAZID and HAZOPs. We have been involved in the UK's major CCS projects: Net-Zero Tyneside (NZT) and Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP). We represented the Human Factors discipline in Norway's flagship CARBON CAPTURE and STORAGE project, 'Northern Lights' during design development with the Engineering company engaged. We have worked with RENEWABLES companies to manage Wind Turbine manufacturing. Our offshore experience in the OIL & GAS industry also has translated well for managing the complex maintenance and access issues for wind-farms' offshore platforms including East Anglia 3 (EA3) and Norfolk Boreas. Hu-Tech have worked closely with the UK HSE to undertake research and develop guidance material for the offshore sector, and requirements of the offshore Safety Case and COMAH Regulations. We are very familiar with the application of relevant HFE & safety Statutory Regulations and industry standards. Our principal services include: Engineering Design:
