SIMOPs

DEP 80001010 

Minimum Separation Distances

Separation distances aim to ensure that the risk of escalation from a fire and/or explosion event(s) on an adjacent area are tolerable, for most common processes. These distances allow for safe SIMOPs during normal operations,
construction and maintenance activities. The required protection measures  for the construction workforce have to be assessed on a case-by-case basis

 

SIMOPS

Simultaneous Operations
Two or more sets of activities, carried out concurrently by different organizations or under different management systems that, because of their proximity or other factors, could interact with each other. May include simultaneous operation and maintenance activities as well as simultaneous operation and construction activities.

 

Allowance for the defined future phases by the project, taking unhindered access during construction and sufficient separation distances considering Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS), shall be taken into account.
