Integrity Assessments

Asset Condition Examinations

Our Integrity Assessments provide on-site evaluations of the life of the asset to enable operators to make data-based decisions regarding repairs or maintenance plans to avoid unplanned shutdowns.

As part of the Process Safety Management (PSM) program, we offer NDT services under the 8th element of the PSM program, Mechanical Integrity Assessments, which include:

  • Risk-Based Inspections (RBI)

  • Fitness-For-Service (FFS)

  • Material Verification Inspections (MVI)

  • Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)

Mechanical Integrity Industry Standards

  • Risk-Based Assessments

    RBI primarily focuses on maintaining the mechanical integrity of pressure equipment items, minimizing the risks associated with loss of containment due to deterioration.

  • Fitness-For-Service

    Fitness-for-service assessments evaluate the structural integrity of components and their suitability for continuous service by providing a quantitative measure of a component containing flaws. This information can be used to help operators determine run-repair-replace decisions, mitigate risk, and ensure safety.

  • Material Verification

    Operators must provide traceable, verifiable, and completed (TVC) records of their pipelines. Additionally, maintaining consistent, detailed records of pipeline properties is critical to supporting integrity assessment programs by accurately identifying and addressing threats.

  • Corrosion Under Insulation

    Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is the corrosion of external surfaces of metal components under thermal insulation.
