Risk Based Inspection (RBI) allows our clients to make informed business decisions based on inspection and maintenance expenditure. Our RBI defines:
· The equipment that requires inspection
· The optimal periodicity of inspections
· The correct techniques used to identify defects likely to develop
The RBI process is based on:
· Data Collection
· Risk Assessment
· Risk Ranking
· Inspection Plan
· Mitigation
· Reassessment
Implementing RBI is crucial as it:
· Measures and understands risks in current inspection programs
· Allows shifting of resources from lower to higher risk equipment
· Increases cost effectiveness of inspection and maintenance resources
· Monitors risk reduction as a result of implementing inspection services
· Incorporates historical data to aid the maintenance planning process for future installations
· Allows management to review safety in an integrated, cost effective manner
· Extending asset life by increasing reliability of equipment and operation.
· Selects cost effective inspection programs without compromising safety, minimising loss of production
