Improve Safety and Reduce Costs Through Effective Asset Management
Asset integrity management is the practice of implementing routine inspections on your plant process equipment, e.g., storage tanks, pressure vessels, piping, lifting devices, etc., in order to minimize safety and environmental risks that can endanger workers or lead to costly downtime.
If you don’t have a program in place, here are some reasons why you should consider implementing one:
- To keep the integrity of your process equipment in order to avoid costly unplanned downtime and repairs
- To verify the fitness of purpose of an asset to be operated as intended with an acceptable risk of failure over its service life
- To meet the rules and regulations on maintenance of assets, especially when used for storage of dangerous material
- Where no specific code clearly applies, to meet the standard of “due diligence”
Industrial Inspection & Analysis Engineering Services will work with you to develop an asset integrity plan that meets your specific needs. We can do so by visiting your facility or site, taking inventory of your equipment, and developing an inspection plan based on code requirements or best practices.
