The operating challenge
Inspection findings become operational risk when their significance, ownership or resolution is unclear. We connect equipment condition, credible degradation and operating limits to decisions on inspection, repair and continued service.
Service offers
Integrity-management review
Assess the asset register, degradation basis, inspection history, operating limits and interfaces with maintenance. Identify gaps that affect decision quality.
Inspection and anomaly prioritization
Review risk-based inspection inputs and unresolved findings. Establish priorities, accountable owners and the evidence needed for specialist disposition.
Integrity implementation support
Connect approved recommendations to repair planning, maintenance windows and operating routines. Track actions through technical verification and closure.
What the domain covers
Integrity management connects credible degradation mechanisms to inspection, operating limits and repair decisions. The objective is a traceable basis for managing containment and equipment condition.
01Equipment register and integrity basis+
- Define pressure equipment, piping, tanks and other assets within scope.
- Review design conditions, materials, service history and required documentation.
- Identify missing information that affects the confidence of an assessment.
02Damage mechanisms and operating exposure+
- Screen credible degradation mechanisms against materials and operating history.
- Review corrosion, erosion, fatigue and other relevant threats with competent specialists.
- Link findings to excursions, service changes and operating limits.
03Risk-based inspection planning+
- Agree boundaries, data quality and the assessment method.
- Evaluate failure likelihood and consequences using the selected methodology.
- Translate risk and uncertainty into inspection priorities and mitigation options.
04Inspection scope and effectiveness+
- Review locations, coverage, techniques and inspection intervals.
- Check whether the inspection can detect the degradation being managed.
- Retain findings, limitations and traceable records for reassessment.
05Integrity operating windows+
- Define the relationship between key process conditions and degradation threats.
- Review monitoring, excursion escalation and required technical response.
- Feed operating experience into the inspection and integrity basis.
06Anomalies, repairs and continued service+
- Classify findings and assign technical disposition, ownership and due dates.
- Prepare the evidence needed for repair, replacement or specialist assessment.
- Fitness-for-service and remaining-life decisions require qualified discipline review.
07Implementation and reassessment+
- Connect approved recommendations to maintenance and shutdown plans.
- Update the assessment after new findings, modifications or changed duty.
- Verify closure and communicate residual issues to the asset owner.
08Governance and competence+
- Define technical authorities, approval routes and document control.
- Track risk-ranked overdue work, unresolved anomalies and evidence quality.
- Develop competence in anomaly review, escalation and implementation.
ISO 55001 supports asset-management governance. API RP 580/581 informs RBI; API RP 584 informs integrity operating windows. Equipment codes and specialist assessments are selected for the asset and jurisdiction.
What we work with
Inspection history, equipment registers, degradation reviews, integrity operating limits and anomaly records.
The decision this supports
A clearer basis for inspection and repair priorities, with integrity risks visible in operational planning.
How progress can be measured
Risk-ranked overdue inspections; unresolved anomalies; time to technical disposition; verified repair and action closure.
Agree the baseline, definitions and review period with the asset team. Measures are selected for the scope; they are not guaranteed results.Field inspection, corrosion modelling, fitness-for-service and remaining-life calculations require a defined specialist scope. Continued-service decisions remain with the authorized technical authority.
Relevant engineering references
Applicable editions and requirements are agreed for each asset, jurisdiction and scope. These references describe the engineering basis; they do not imply ReliaEdge certification or endorsement by ISO or API.
