Asset Integrity management is used manage the capability of an asset to perform its required function throughout the asset’s lifecycle. The systems help ensure that the people, systems, processes, and resources that deliver integrity are in place, in use and will perform when required.
Asset integrity is managed at each stage of the asset lifecycle, including project design, asset operation and decommissioning. Inspections, auditing/assurance, and overall quality processes are just some of the means to execute an effective integrity management program.
A program can include:
- Risk Based Inspection strategy
- Pipeline integrity management typically for corrosion
- In-service inspection with routine and specialist non-destructive testing
- Reliability centered maintenance (RCM)
- Condition-based maintenance
- Vibration induced fatigue failure solutions
“Inspection Is the Key to Cost Reduction”
In addition to regulatory and company requirements, operators of facilities and pipelines have the following business needs
- Maximizing production
- Reducing lost income due to unplanned shutdowns
- Optimizing inspection and maintenance costs
- Maximizing asset value
- Maintaining an auditable system
