Your challengesPlant integrity, safety and reliability are major concerns

for all plant owners and operators. It is important to

evaluate the effectiveness of systems, procedures

and tools that are in place to control operation and

maintenance of assets. Additionally, many plants around

the world are operating beyond their originally intended

nominal design lives. Owners and operators need an

accurate assessment of equipment degradation to help

them decide whether to allow continuous service of

plants in a mid-term view.

What is asset integrity management?Asset integrit y management (AIM) ensures the desired

performance of an asset effectively and efficiently at

every stage of its lifecycle. All aspects of operations

essential to safety and integrity need to be properly

designed, constructed, tested, operated, inspected and

maintained in a sustainable, holistic and systematic way.

This ensures service and performance integrity while

protecting health, safety and the environment.

Why is AIM important for your business?Regular inspections, ongoing maintenance, sufficient

managerial support, tests of quality assurance processes

and a programme of internal and external audits are

vital at every s tage, from the design and construction

of new plants through to operation, maintenance and

decommissioning of existing facilities. TÜ V SÜD’s Asset

Integrity Investigation and Improvement Audit (AIIIA)

is a straightforward methodology to assess the actual

status with respect to structural integrity issues. It

addresses technical, managerial, organisational andpractical topics across the entire organisation and aids

acceptance by international insurance companies.

qualified and experienced experts have the combined
