What Himsac Proyectos y Consultorías does

HIM Proyectos y Consultorías SAC, operating as HIMSAC, is a Peruvian private engineering and consulting firm founded around 2009-2010 and headquartered in Santiago de Surco, Lima, with a regional office opened in Arequipa in May 2025. The firm specializes in process safety, quantitative risk analysis, and fire protection engineering for the hydrocarbons subsector, and has expanded into the mining and broader industrial sectors. Its offerings are organized into two service units: the Unidad de Seguridad y Control de Riesgos (delivering HAZOP/HAZID, QRA, LOPA, SIL allocation, ERS, PRE, and consequence studies) and the Unidad de Ingeniería (delivering conceptual, basic, and detailed engineering for hydrocarbon transfer/storage systems and fire protection, plus project supervision and OSINERGMIN permitting). As the official GEXCON representative in Peru (since May 2025), HIMSAC also resells and trains users on EFFECTS, RISKCURVES, and FLACS advanced consequence-modeling software, and partners with KENEXIS for the Open PHA Cloud platform.

The firm operates on a project-based professional services model with quote-driven, multi-year engagements, monetizing deep technical labor and certified human expertise rather than software subscriptions. Its go-to-market is sales-led and B2B, targeting large enterprise operators (Petroperú, CALIDDA, CONTUGAS, Antamina, Las Bambas, Cerro Verde, Minsur, Southern Peru, Kimberly-Clark, Aceros Arequipa, among 25+ named logos) and maintaining regulatory relationships with OSINERGMIN and participation in the INACAL Technical Committee for Process Safety Standards. Headcount sits in the 11-50 band, and the firm has accumulated 500+ studies across five Latin American countries and 100+ HAZOP workshops, recently formalized by the Trinorma ISO 9001/14001/45001 certification and the INDECOPI-registered HIMSAC service brand. The company is privately held, founder-led by César Mascaro La Rosa, and shows no evidence of external funding, parent company, or M&A activity.

Broad incumbents

• SGS: Global testing, inspection, and certification company with industrial and natural-gas inspection services. Comparable in regulatory-compliance testing for hydrocarbons and mining, though much broader in scope.
• DNV: Norway-headquartered assurance and risk management firm with strong oil & gas and process safety practices. Competes for ERS/QRA/PSM mandates while offering a much broader certification and advisory portfolio.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, certification, and EHS consulting major with active Peru operations. Provides broader asset integrity and compliance services but overlaps HIMSAC's process safety and regulatory-compliance work.
• Worley: Global engineering and project services firm for energy, chemicals, and resources. Competes for fire protection design, engineering, and supervision mandates that HIMSAC's Engineering Unit also serves.
• WSP: Global engineering professional services firm with Peru presence (HIMSAC lists WSP Peru as a client). Competes in industrial process safety, fire protection, and EHS consulting as part of a broad engineering portfolio.

Direct peers

• Jensen Hughes: Global fire protection engineering and process safety consultancy serving hydrocarbons and industrial clients. Comparable in fire protection design, QRA, and hazardous-materials risk consulting.
• ioMosaic: US-based process safety and risk management consulting firm offering HAZOP, LOPA, QRA, and PSM services to chemical, petrochemical, and oil & gas operators. Closely comparable specialty to HIMSAC's risk-control unit.
• Kenexis: US-based process safety consulting and software firm behind the Open PHA platform HIMSAC uses for HAZOP/LOPA studies. Direct peer in PSM consulting and risk-based decision support.
• Gexcon: Norway-based process safety and explosion-risk consulting firm whose EFFECTS, RISKCURVES, and FLACS software HIMSAC represents in Peru. Gexcon is the closest technology and consulting peer in consequence modeling and QRA.
• Exida: Functional safety and SIL-assessment consultancy whose certifications HIMSAC's team already holds. Overlapping scope in safety instrumented systems and LOPA/SIL consulting.
