Pipeline Audit and Review

Comprehensive asset integrity management requires both compliance with procedures and regulations, and continuous improvement. The 'check' element of the integrity management loop is where compliance is confirmed and opportunities for improvement are identified. We support operators by providing expert audit and review services.

Best practice defined

The ultimate indicators of effective integrity management are factors such as pipeline failure rates, availability, and capacity. Integrity management systems are designed to achieve target levels of safety and reliability at reasonable cost. Regular audit and review of management system performance is important to build confidence that targets are being achieved, to identify any gaps in performance and drive continuous improvement in line with best practice.

There are no internationally agreed standards. Our approach is based on experience with operators worldwide, and draws on national standards such as ASME B31.8S, API 1160, API 1173, DNV RP F116 or EN 16348 and incorporates Quality Management Principles of ISO 9001 and Asset Management Philosophy of ISO 55000.

Best practice gap analysis

Studies have shown that the application of best practice and the adoption of a ‘zero incidents’ philosophy make a major contribution to effective integrity management. Working with operators worldwide, and seeing close-up the condition of their assets we have a clear view of what works. Our services involve:

  • Review and analysis of the existing provisions in relation to each element of the ROSEN Integrity Management Framework
  • Identifying areas for further improvement

Implementing and following a system for best practice makes a major contribution to effective integrity management.
