Asset Integrity Management

We help you keep ageing equipment safe and productive through risk based inspection, reliability centred maintenance, corrosion management, fitness for service evaluation and pipeline integrity, so that your team can extend the working life of critical assets while staying ahead of the damage mechanisms that threaten them.

Strategic context

Why asset integrity management matters

Asset Integrity Management is the discipline that keeps ageing pressure equipment, pipelines, tanks and rotating assets fit for service and the regulator on side. Our team brings together API 580 and 581 risk based inspection, SAE JA1011 reliability centered maintenance, API 579 1 and ASME FFS 1 fitness for service, API RP 571 damage mechanism cataloguing, IBR 1950 for India and the PNGRB Pipeline Integrity Regulations into one asset integrity management system aligned with ISO 55001. The work converts inspection findings, integrity operating window excursions and corrosion data into run, repair or replace decisions that are defensible to your insurer, regulator and corporate engineering review.

Asset Integrity Management
Engagement model

How we deliver

A phased, evidence led delivery model that runs from discovery through close out and is built around your facility, regulatory context, and lifecycle stage.

Asset Register and Criticality
We build the hierarchy per ISO 14224, score criticality on safety, environmental and production consequence and identify the safety critical elements per the UK HSE SCE framework.
Damage Mechanism Catalogue
We catalogue damage per API RP 571 covering general thinning, localised pitting, HTHA, HIC, SCC, CUI and MIC and build corrosion loop drawings with chemistry, temperature and velocity mapping.
RBI and RCM Programme Build
We prepare the API RP 580 and 581 RBI worksheets, the SAE JA1011 RCM FMEA and an inspection and maintenance strategy with consequence categorised tasks.
FFS and Run, Repair or Replace
We carry out API 579 1 and ASME FFS 1 Level 1, 2 and 3 assessments, re rate the RSF and MAWP and integrate the MOC with PHA revalidation.
AIMS Governance and KPIs
We run an ISO 55001 aligned management system with a leading and lagging KPI cascade, an annual self audit and triennial third party audit and an OSHA PSM Mechanical Integrity element evidence pack.
Outcomes & value

What this service delivers

  • An RBI driven inspection programme that cuts unnecessary intervention by 30 to 50 percent
  • Fitness for service based run, repair or replace decisions that stand up to the regulator
  • Mechanical integrity and integrity operating window excursion management that prevents Tier 1 release events
  • A predictive maintenance programme that converts reactive work into planned maintenance
  • An asset integrity management evidence pack that closes OSHA PSM Mechanical Integrity audits
Why Arborion

Our differentiators

  • API 510, 570, 653 and 580 certified inspectors and engineers
  • RBI, RCM and fitness for service integrated rather than run as three separate programmes
  • PNGRB, IBR and OISD India regulatory grounding
  • A failure analysis lab partnership that gives you evidence based root cause analysis

Frequently asked questions

What is asset integrity management?

It is the discipline that keeps ageing pressure equipment, pipelines, tanks and rotating assets fit for service and the regulator on side. We bring risk based inspection, reliability centered maintenance, corrosion management, fitness for service evaluation and pipeline integrity into one management system aligned with ISO 55001, converting inspection findings and integrity operating window excursions into defensible run, repair or replace decisions.

Which standards and methods do you use?

We use API RP 580 and 581 for risk based inspection, API 579 1 and ASME FFS 1 for fitness for service, API RP 571 for damage mechanisms and API RP 584 for integrity operating windows, SAE JA1011 and JA1012 for reliability centered maintenance, ASME B31.8S and API 1160 for pipeline integrity, and ISO 55001 and ISO 14224 for asset management and reliability data. For India we apply OISD STD 130, the PNGRB Regulations 2009 and IBR 1950.

When does a facility need this?

You need it as equipment ages toward or beyond its original design life, when corrosion and damage mechanisms threaten containment, when an inspection backlog or unplanned failures point to reactive maintenance, or when an OSHA PSM mechanical integrity audit or insurer review requires demonstrable integrity evidence. A risk based approach concentrates inspection where the consequence and likelihood are highest rather than on a blanket time based schedule.

What outcomes do you deliver?

You receive a risk based inspection programme that can cut unnecessary intervention by a meaningful margin, fitness for service based run, repair or replace decisions that stand up to the regulator, integrity operating window management that prevents Tier 1 release events, a predictive maintenance programme that converts reactive work into planned work, and an evidence pack that closes OSHA PSM mechanical integrity audits.

Which industries do you serve?

We serve refineries and petrochemicals, oil and gas across offshore, onshore and pipelines, LNG, cryogenic and hydrogen, power and combined cycle plants, specialty chemicals and pharma, and fertilizer, mining and steel. Our inspectors and engineers hold API 510, 570, 653 and 580 certification.
