Mechanical Integrity Risk is ever changing. As your equipment moves through its life cycle, deteriorating due to the demands of its operating context and from its exposure to the atmospheric conditions of your facility becoming more susceptible to this deterioration because of operational changes as you try to get more out of the equipment you own, pushing the boundaries of its original design intent. These operational changes are crept in over time without due consideration of the effect on the rate of deterioration or the susceptibility of your assets to new damage mechanisms, leaving your risk assessments out of date and thus your integrity management plan in-effective at monitoring and managing this risk.

  • Does this sound familiar?
  • Does your Risk Based Inspection (RBI) program have a revalidation schedule?
  • Are you re-assessing risk after change triggers?
  • Do you have a robust and effective Management of Change program?

Asset Optimization Consultants (AOC) has many years of experience of both implementing and sustaining effective RBI programs in the Oil, Gas and Chemical industries. We have helped many companies to reinvigorate their mechanical integrity programs and get them back on track to being an effective risk management program for the prevention of loss of primary containment.
