Optimize your inspection and maintenance cost and risk by relying on our unique expertise and software for efficient inspection and maintenance setup.

RBI is an optimum inspection strategy that is commonly used to identify high risk equipment such as pressure vessels, tanks, heat exchangers, piping and associated equipment. The high-risk equipment items are likely to be exposed to different types of degradation such as corrosion, fatigue and mechanical damage and could lead to catastrophic failures in the plant.

Why use Risk Based Inspection?

For asset intensive industries, such as oil & gas as well as energy sectors, risk based inspection (RBI) is an increasingly recognized approach adopted by various plant owners to prioritize the resources based on the associated risks calculation. Based on the RBI results, the plant owners will be more aware of the risk level of their assets and are able to allocate their resources effectively.

RBI is one of the management solutions within our AIM services that optimizes inspection efforts based on risk. Risk, in this context, is determined by the likelihood of a failure or breach of containment due to damage mechanisms and the consequences of it impacting on safety, environment and economics.

Inspection strategies can then be developed based on the results of RBI, with more focus on high risk equipment. Plant availability and safety has significantly improved using this approach, whilst achieving greatly reduced unplanned shutdowns and costs as a favourable by product.
