Asset decisions · 03

Integrity & fitness-for-service

Assessment of in-service damage and inspection findings to support controlled decisions on continued operation, repair, rerating, monitoring or replacement.

Capability

Turn inspection data into a defined engineering decision.

The assessment is built around credible damage mechanisms, reliable inputs and the appropriate level of analysis under API 579, BS 7910 or the agreed project basis.

01

Wall-loss assessment

Evaluation of general corrosion, local thin areas, pitting and measured remaining thickness.

02

Flaw assessment

Engineering support for planar or crack-like indications using suitable fracture-mechanics methods.

03

Remaining life

Review of degradation rate, fatigue usage and operating history to inform future inspection or action.

04

Repair decisions

Assessment of proposed repairs, operating limits and evidence required to close the integrity question.

Deliverables

Conclusions connected to safe action.

Data review

Condition, inspection quality, geometry, loads, materials and damage mechanism review.

Assessment basis

Selected method, level, assumptions, tolerances and acceptance criteria.

Fitness evaluation

Calculations or detailed analysis with sensitivity to key uncertainties.

Action plan

Operating limits, repair needs, monitoring, further inspection or escalation recommendations.

Useful project inputs

  • Inspection report, maps and NDT data
  • Drawings, dimensions and material records
  • Pressure, temperature and operating history
  • Previous repairs and known degradation

Common project triggers

  • Unexpected thinning, pitting or cracking
  • Out-of-tolerance inspection finding
  • Life extension or change of service
  • Need to justify repair or continued operation

Start with the finding

What has inspection found—and what decision is needed?

Share the report, available drawings, conditions, materials and any operating deadline or constraint.
