Course Introduction
Asset integrity management (AIM) is vital for preventing failures, ensuring safety, and maximizing the lifecycle of critical infrastructure in high-risk environments such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, and marine operations. When approached through a risk-based lens, AIM can prioritize interventions, reduce operational costs, and meet regulatory requirements without compromising reliability.
This comprehensive course equips professionals with the methodologies and tools required to implement risk-based asset integrity programs. Covering pipeline systems, subsea assets, corrosion control, and structural components, participants will learn how to assess threats, mitigate failures, and assure ongoing integrity throughout asset lifespans.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Develop and implement a risk-based asset integrity management system
• Assess and mitigate integrity risks across pipeline, subsea, and structural assets
• Conduct corrosion analysis and implement effective protection strategies
• Apply industry standards (API, ISO, DNV, ASME) for inspection and assurance
• Design maintenance and assurance plans based on criticality and lifecycle priorities
Key Benefits of Attending
• Adopt a structured, risk-prioritized approach to integrity management
• Improve asset availability and reduce unplanned shutdowns
• Gain insight into modern tools for inspection, monitoring, and life extension
• Strengthen compliance with international integrity and safety standards
• Enhance your organization’s resilience to asset degradation and failures
