Asset integrity management services

About our asset integrity management services   

We are leading providers of asset integrity management services which addresses:

  • maintenance strategy and policy: helping you establish what your business requires of your assets and how maintenance must deliver

  • identification and implementation of appropriate inspection regimes: involves ensuring cost effective use of resources through time-based, risk-based and in-service inspection services and related inspection strategies and programmes

  • turnaround consultancy: helping you maximise turnaround intervals and minimise their duration

  • asset strategy: assessing asset condition and working with you to establish an optimum blend of maintenance and replacement to meet your business needs in the longer term.
     

How our asset integrity management services can help  

Managing the integrity of your assets will help identify damage in the early stages before it becomes a problem. Monitoring and mitigation efforts are then developed and implemented so that maximum safe life is achieved. Where it is too late for prevention, our fit for purpose analysis, integrity monitoring and corrosion management measures can help avoid premature repairs, replacements and unplanned shutdowns. Any repair or maintenance work can then be scheduled to coincide with planned shutdowns.

You can benefit from our integrity expertise spanning:

  • pressure systems (static and rotating equipment)

  • structures (fixed and floating)

  • pipelines and subsea production systems

  • lifting equipment

  • wellhead control equipment

  • safeguarding systems

  • electrical and control systems.
     

Our services include
  • Risk Based Inspection Services:

    Our subsisdiaries, LR Capstone (head quartered at Houston, USA) and Ødegaard & Danneskiold - Samsøe (ODS; head quartered in Denmark) is at the forefront of our risk management technology.

    LR Capstone has developed a set of integrated services for the process industry and other sectors to assist in improving reliability and equipment integrity. LR Capstone’s Reliability Based Mechanical Integrity (RBMI) software is a fully integrated software package to help manage all of the steps of a risk-based inspection and maintenance programme.

    Ødegaard & Danneskiold - Samsøe (ODS) provides services to the transportation and process industries to solve noise, vibration and machinery performance problems.

The benefits you will derive from our RBI services include

   - proven project personnel - properly trained and highly skilled personnel
   - proven project management
   - proven software & assessment capability and integrated with work order scheduling
   - client integrated work teams => ensure transferring of ownership of results
   - location of all project functions to a single location - i.e. to onshore site => minimize movement and duplication of
     documents, information, data
   - proven approach/methodology => correct risk classification of anomalies (i.e. RED might not be “RED” or WHITE
     might not be “WHITE”).
