Arctic Facility Assessment

BakerRisk has conducted work in arctic and sub-arctic regions (Alaska, Northern Alberta, etc.) assisting clients in the oil industry as well as government and military installations to address their issues related to explosion, fire, and toxic hazards under these conditions.

In addition to the problems common to other facilities at normal temperatures, facilities in cold regions additionally have to concern themselves with unique conditions such as:

• Extreme cold environment
• Remote geographic areas
• Limited means of transportation
• High cost of labor
• Enclosed process units

BakerRisk has an in-depth understanding of the issues related to cold region/remote operating facilities, and has provided integrated and cost effective solutions to our clients in such regions.
