The primary benefits of employing an approach to managing asset integrity are:
·
Reduced
risks
·
Increased
safety
·
Increase
reliability
Improved Environmental Performances
We
have a long history of providing asset integrity management at TUV Austria
Bureau of Inspection & Certification Norway. With our vast array of
specialist areas and the use of science, we guarantee that your assets are in
good hands.
Our
combined experience provides optimal operational stability, safety, and
cost-effective solutions.

Risk-Based Inspection Planning
We
use Risk Based Inspection (RBI) planning, a method for planning and inspection
based on an assessment/analysis of the probability and a consequence of a component failure.
This
systematic approach determines the optimum inspection and monitoring schemes,
and detailed inspection and monitoring plans are furnished.
Inspection
planning encompasses various activities performed to optimize the use of
inspection resources (cost-effective) while at the same time is ensuring the technical integrity of the
asset.
By
strategically targeting areas based on an RBI, you acquire a cost-effective
inspection program that provides a safe and reliable operation.

A significant portion of the unplanned events in processing plants is due to erosion and
corrosion. Corrosion management is, therefore, critical
to maintain the integrity of the facility, increasing the level of safety and
improving cost-efficiency.
Corrosion
management is a dynamism method that allows us to manage and assess an asset's
technical stability that is impacted by material degradation like erosion,
corrosion cracks, fatigue, and fatigue.
It
is a part of the overall management system described in a Corrosion Management
Strategy. A corrosion management strategy aims to define roles and
responsibilities, ensure ownership, focus on high-risk procedures, and identify
barriers and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Four steps of a continuous cycle:
- Planning: A detailed plan is established based on results from a risk assessment and includes inspection, monitoring, and mitigation programs.
- Execution: Implementation of defined and planned activities and programs and identifying KPIs to measure critical parameters and ensure corrosion control.
- Reporting/measure: Measure and evaluate KPIs and data from inspection, monitoring, and mitigation activities, and prepare status reports and improvements. We gather, analyse and display data using an information system for corrosion management.
- Improve: Review the effectiveness of the corrosion management programs, improve the corrosion management activities and take necessary actions.
Subsea and Pipeline Inspection Management
Pipelines
represent an essential part of the energy infrastructure. The proper operation
of pipelines is essential to a business's capability to sell its assets.
We
offer several solutions for these challenges (pipeline integrity management).
This includes, among others, operational support, inspection planning, data
analysis (e.g., pipeline degradation, remaining lifetime), corrosion modelling
recommendations regarding corrosion and materials, and advanced
inspection/monitoring for subsea (e.g., vibration, field gradient sensor).
Well Integrity Management
Corrosion
control for good operations is performed with a focus on health, safety, and
environmental requirements.
Costly
workover and loss of production can be avoided by implementing corrosion
control for wells and using models and experience to understand the mechanisms
driving corrosion. We offer, among others (well Asset Integrity Management certification), corrosion monitoring, analysis, and assessment of pollution
for wells (e.g., degradation of tubing, the remaining lifetime of
wells/tubing due to corrosion), in along with addressing wellhead fatigue
as well as workover and drilling fatigue.
Corrosion Management
Our
experience in the field of materials technology enhances our ability to spot
crucial technical aspects that affect the security of the installation during
the process. This concerns various structures and systems, such as jackets,
subsea structures and FPSOs.
Semi-subs
include pipelines, risers, TLPs as well as subsea coolers. Topside processing
systems, wells and facilities onshore. FPSOs,
semi-subs, TLPs, risers, pipelines, subsea coolers, topside process systems,
wells, and onshore facilities.
Alongside
other services related to materials in asset integrity management, we are able
to assist with the selection of materials and verification corrosion rate
simulations, calculators, protection of surfaces as well as CP administration.
