Case Study: Keeping expensive oil refining capacity protected
The Client
The insurers of a large oil-refining complex in Eastern Europe
The Project
The passive fire protection systems on both the fabric and production facilities of this major refining site had failed.
Safinah carried out an in depth investigation into the cause of the failure and solutions to restore the first of the three different systems used.
The Outcome
The first system has been restored and the client is completely satisfied with the work.
As a result, Safinah has been re-appointed for the assessment of the remaining two systems, as the sole independent assessor by both parties involved in the claim.
