BQCIS

Independent Engineering Review for Code Compliance and Integrity

Design Verification is an essential step in ensuring that engineering plans meet the functional, safety, and regulatory requirements of the intended application. BQCIS performs independent design assessments to confirm that calculations, models, and drawings align with international standards such as ASME, API, ISO, and IEC.

Our multidisciplinary team of engineers and auditors reviews the complete design package — structural, mechanical, electrical, and process — to identify design gaps, inconsistencies, and potential performance risks before fabrication or installation.

This proactive approach mitigates costly rework, improves constructability, and strengthens technical assurance throughout the project lifecycle.

Key Activities in Design Verification

Design Documentation Review

Evaluation of design drawings, P&IDs, calculations, and design specifications for completeness and clarity.

Code & Standard Compliance Check

Verification against international codes (ASME, API, ISO, IEC, ASTM) and client-specific technical requirements.

Structural & Stress Analysis

Analytical review and validation of load-bearing capacity, stress limits, and material selection for design integrity.

Safety & Reliability Assessment

Evaluation of safety-critical elements, control systems, and redundancy provisions within the design.

Interdisciplinary Coordination

Cross-verification between disciplines to ensure mechanical, civil, and electrical designs are fully integrated.

Design Risk Identification

Detection of inconsistencies or vulnerabilities that may impact constructability or long-term performance.

Design Validation Report

Preparation of a formal Design Verification Report with observations, risk ranking, and recommendations.

Corrective Action Follow-Up

Monitoring implementation of design changes and closure of identified deviations prior to approval.

Final Design Approval

Issuing a final, independent design verification certificate upon successful closure of all action items.

Key Benefits of Design Verification

Assured Compliance

Assured Compliance

Confirms that your design complies with international standards, codes, and project specifications.

Risk Reduction

Reduced Technical Risk

Early identification of design errors or omissions minimizes costly downstream corrections.

Improved Quality

Improved Design Quality

Ensures design robustness, safety, and functional performance prior to manufacturing or construction.

Stakeholder Assurance

Stakeholder Assurance

Independent verification enhances client, investor, and regulatory confidence in project integrity.

Success Story

Design Verification for Offshore Platform Expansion

The Challenge:

An offshore EPC contractor required an independent review of structural and process design documents for a new platform extension to meet international certification requirements.

Our Solution:

BQCIS conducted a full design verification audit — reviewing load calculations, material selection, and safety system layouts — ensuring compliance with ISO 19901 and API RP 2A standards.

The Result:

The verification enabled timely design approval, eliminated critical design conflicts, and allowed fabrication to commence two weeks ahead of schedule.
