Total Plant

What Total Plant does

Total Plant is a private Norwegian engineering and training services firm headquartered in Oslo, with a regional office in Ireland, operating across the full asset lifecycle from concept to post de-commissioning. Founded in 2016 with 51-100 employees, the company serves process industries — primarily oil and gas, plus power generation (nuclear and non-nuclear), railway, pharmaceutical, and mining — with engineering services, technical training, and published reference materials in process safety, functional safety, reliability engineering, and cybersecurity. Core technical capabilities span international standards including API, IEC, ISA, NFPA, ISO, ASME, ATEX, PED, IAEA, and Norwegian PSA, supported by a proprietary library of more than 1,000 incident cases curated from authoritative global sources.

The company monetizes through three interconnected streams. Engineering services cover feasibility studies, FEED, detail engineering, HAZOP, LOPA, SIL assessments, bow tie analysis, RAM analysis, QRA, consequence modeling, inspection, maintenance program development, and de-commissioning support, delivered via direct enterprise engagement with named clients including Shell, Equinor, BP, ExxonMobil, Aramco, Petrobras, Ecopetrol, Gasunie, Scottish Power, and Tennet. Training services are offered as classroom-based and online interactive programs, including CFSE/CFSP/CACE/CACS certification preparation delivered under an exclusive partnership with exida in many countries; a 3-month post-training free consultation is included. Technical publications — three books on functional safety/LOPA, bow tie analysis, and process safety/reliability programs — are sold direct via the company website at €60-€80 each, with electronic delivery within 2-3 working days.

Total Plant positions itself as a niche, high-expertise consultancy differentiated by engineers who combine design, operations, and maintenance experience (described as rare globally), multi-standard regulatory fluency, and a curated incident case library. The firm pursues a sales-led, enterprise field sales motion with direct client engagement across Europe, Scandinavia, the Americas, Middle East, Australia, Africa, and Asia. Go-to-market relies on direct contact, technical publications for thought leadership, and free consultation days as relationship-builders. Technical support is offered via paid consultation contracts with 24/7 on-call availability, providing a recurring-revenue component alongside project-based engineering and training.
