Asset Integrity & Operational Assurance
Working with our clients, we ensure that assets perform their required functions effectively and over their entire lifecycle.
This is achieved by the application of expertise derived from time tested reliability engineering tools and techniques.
We offer our clients the following services:
Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety Analysis
We undertake comprehensive RAMS analysis in accordance with the associated standards and guidance.
We establish RAMS requirements at the project's outset and demonstrate the achievement of the RAMS targets
and the likely future performance of the system through application of established engineering concepts,
methods, tools and techniques. RAMS assessments are undertaken through the design and development stages and
form the basis for the procurement specifications for systems and equipment. The testing and commissioning stages
provide preliminary evidence that the systems’ RAMS targets are achieved. We collect data during the operation stage
of the system which provides ongoing trend analysis of system performance.
Working with designers and operators, we offer the following Services:
- Mission analysis and detailed RAMS requirements specification
- Reliability, availability, maintainability and safety design and operations concept definition
- Performance of concept trade-offs (RAMS aspects)
- RAMS analyses
- RAMS Verification (planning, test evaluation)
- RAMS Shadow engineering
Spare Parts Optimization and Logistics Support
We provide:
- Life cycle cost (LCC) Analysis
- RAMS-management (reliability, availability, maintainability and safety management)
- Supply chain modeling
Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)
RCM is an industrial improvement approach focused on identifying and establishing the operational, maintenance, and capital
improvement policies that will manage the risks of equipment failure most effectively.
We provide detail RCM services such as:
- Derivation of functional definitions and performance standards
- Analysis of source data to identify trends and failure characteristics
-
Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) whereby functional failures are
defined and failure modes identified together with the consequential effects relative to safety,
environmental and system performance.
Risk Based Inspection (RBI)
RBI is a systematic approach that enables users to make informed business decisions regarding inspection and maintenance expenditure.
The fundamental objective of implementing a successful RBI programme is to create an inspection strategy that clearly defines.
- The equipment items which require inspection;
- The optimal periodicity of inspections; and
- The correct techniques that should be performed to identify defects that a particular component is likely to develop.
