Course Introduction
Asset Integrity Management (AIM) is essential for maintaining the performance, safety, and reliability of equipment and infrastructure throughout its operational lifecycle. With increasing regulatory scrutiny, aging infrastructure, and demand for operational excellence, a structured AIM program helps organizations minimize risk, reduce downtime, and optimize maintenance costs.
This intensive 5-day course delivers a comprehensive approach to Asset Integrity Management across engineering, inspection, operations, and maintenance. Participants will explore key AIM elements such as risk-based inspection (RBI), corrosion management, fitness-for-service assessments, and performance monitoring to ensure sustained asset performance and regulatory compliance.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the principles and components of an Asset Integrity Management System (AIMS)
• Apply risk-based approaches to inspection, maintenance, and decision-making
• Identify and manage asset degradation mechanisms including corrosion and fatigue
• Conduct fitness-for-service and remaining life assessments
• Implement continuous monitoring and performance improvement strategies
Key Benefits of Attending
• To enhance asset reliability and operational safety
• To reduce downtime and optimize maintenance planning
• To comply with industry standards such as API 580, API 581, and ISO 55000
• To build internal capability for managing critical plant and infrastructure assets
• To support sustainable operations through data-driven integrity practices
Intended Audience
This program is designed for:
• Maintenance and reliability engineers
• Integrity, inspection, and corrosion professionals
