Question 1

What are asset integrity solutions?

Accepted Answer

Asset integrity solutions help industrial operators keep tanks, pipelines, vessels and other critical equipment safe, reliable and fit for service throughout their operating life. Octobotics combines inspection data, condition assessment and integrity-focused decision support to help identify degradation, prioritize action and plan maintenance.

Question 2

What is risk-based inspection?

Accepted Answer

Risk-based inspection, or RBI, prioritizes inspection activities according to the likelihood and consequence of equipment failure. It helps asset owners focus resources on the equipment, locations and damage mechanisms that present the greatest risk instead of applying the same inspection frequency to every asset. RBI outputs typically include inspection priorities, methods, scope and intervals.

Question 3

What is a fitness-for-service assessment?

Accepted Answer

A fitness-for-service, or FFS, assessment determines whether an asset with damage or degradation can continue operating safely under defined conditions. Depending on the assessment outcome, the recommendation may be continued operation, monitoring, repair, pressure reduction, modification or replacement. FFS is often used when inspection identifies corrosion, pitting, cracks, dents, thinning or other flaws.

Question 4

How does inspection data support asset integrity management?

Accepted Answer

Inspection data provides evidence about the current condition of an asset. Octobotics can help collect visual, thickness, corrosion-mapping and weld-inspection data that supports remaining-life evaluation, maintenance planning, risk ranking, repair decisions and future inspection intervals.

Question 5

What information is needed to begin an asset integrity assessment?

Accepted Answer

Useful information includes asset drawings, design and material records, operating conditions, process history, previous inspection reports, repair records, corrosion history, known damage mechanisms and applicable inspection requirements. The more complete the asset history, the more effectively the inspection and integrity strategy can be planned.
