CANARY+

Quest’s risk mapping software, CANARY+, is a tool for combining the results of CANARY hazard calculations (consequences) with event probabilities (likelihoods) in Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) studies.  The software is designed to evaluate a wide range of site-specific weather conditions (wind speed, stability class, and wind direction), as well as multiple release hole sizes, orientations, and hazard types.  Using specific accident locations, a spatial and numerical description of risk surrounding the hazardous material facility is created.  CANARY+ presents risk results in two primary formats:

  • Risk contours (public, worker, equipment, or environmental risk)
  • f/N curves (societal risk)

Other measures of risk, such as Individual Risk Per Annum (IRPA), Potential Loss of Life (PLL), or overpressure exceedance curves, can be developed from the CANARY+ outputs.  For more information, read about QRA or contact us.
