In-service inspection of industrial facilities :

The management of physical assets - selection, maintenance, inspection and renewal - plays a key role in determining the operational performance, safety and profitability of your industry.

Deterioration processes such as fatigue cracks and corrosion can always be present to some degree.

The challenge to management is to ensure that the integrity of engineered systems - for instance, offshore structures, ships, pipelines and process systems - is maintained throughout the anticipated service life.

Over the years, new regulations, safety and environmental concerns from the public have emphasized the requirement for pipeline owners to demonstrate and document the safe operation of their facilities. What were originally technical issues related to inspection and maintenance have now been wrapped up in the general concept of pipeline integrity management. The safety and reliability of pipelines have indeed become a social accountability issue at Corporate level for every Operator, along with the easy access to the data and their transparency.

With a high demand for electricity triggering more construction of power plants, the goal of an owner is to ensure that its new generation assets will produce the MWh required by the power purchase agreement or the energy market. For a portfolio of power generation assets, performance testing can facilitate benchmarking and help identify best operating practices.
