Asset Integrity Management

Is the equipment fit for service, and can you prove it?

Static equipment does not announce its degradation. Asset Integrity Management is the discipline that finds it first, a managed system connecting damage understanding, risk-based inspection, fitness-for-service judgement, and the data that holds them together, so that fitness for service is a demonstrated fact rather than an assumption.

Service scope

What we deliver.

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)

Implementation, revalidation, and evergreening of RBI programmes, from corrosion loop definition and damage mechanism review through risk analysis to executable inspection plans.

Damage Mechanism Reviews

Systematic identification of credible degradation under actual operating conditions: mechanisms, susceptible locations, morphology, and monitoring requirements.

Fitness-for-Service Assessment

Engineering disposition of in-service deficiencies, assessment of flaws, wall loss, and damage to determine safe continued operation, rerating, repair, or replacement.

Integrity Operating Windows

Definition of the operating limits that protect equipment, with the communication and escalation protocols that make them function as barriers.

Inspection Planning & Effectiveness

Risk-based inspection plans and workbooks answering when, where, and how, with techniques demonstrably capable of detecting the mechanisms identified.

AIMS Development & Audit

Design, implementation, and audit of asset integrity management systems, governance, processes, data architecture, and assurance.

Corrosion Management & Risk Assessment

Corrosion Management System (CMS) design and review, plus Corrosion Risk Assessment Studies (CRAS): threat assessment, monitoring strategy, and mitigation across the asset.

Pipeline Integrity Management

Pipeline Integrity Management System (PIMS) implementation and assurance for linear assets: threat identification, risk assessment, in-line inspection integration, and evergreening.

Technical Integrity Verification

Independent Technical Integrity Verification (TIV) of safety-critical equipment and barriers, demonstrating that integrity and process-safety controls perform as designed.

The VTA difference

Most integrity consultancies deliver the study. VTA engineers the implementation system around it, the data foundation, the damage understanding, the monitoring locations, the feedback loop, because that is where integrity programmes succeed or fail. Our specialists hold senior certifications across the API and AMPP/NACE bodies of knowledge and have operated these programmes from inside owner organisations, not only audited them from outside.
