Why Choose this Training Course?

Risk Based Inspection (RBI) methodology enables the assessment of the likelihood and potential consequences of pressure equipment failures. RBI provides companies the opportunity to prioritize their equipment for inspection; optimize inspection methods, frequencies and resources; develop specific equipment inspection plans; and enable the implementation of Reliability Centered Maintenance. This results in improved safety, lower failure risks, fewer forced shutdowns, and reduced operational costs.

The risk-based approach needs:

To be multi-disciplined
To be realistically applicable to plant integrity
Design with future scenarios in mind
Consideration of all potential degradation mechanisms
Understanding of the risks involved
Awareness of Fitness for Service assessment techniques

What are the Goals?

To provide clear understanding of the key aspects of Risk Based Inspection, its advantages and limitations
To provide a clear understanding of how it is linked to reliability-centered maintenance
Understand how fitness-for-service assessment affects the Risk
To show you how to develop a successful RBI program at your facility
Provide you with the practical and effective methods you need to perform practical likelihood and consequence analysis
Show you how to develop optimum Inspection intervals for individual equipment based on the assessment of the active degradation mechanisms

Who is this Training Course for?

Operations Engineers
Maintenance Engineers
Engineering Managers and Supervisors
Technical Staff with responsibilities for inspection, maintenance, assessment and mitigation of plant equipment degradation, and who want to use RBI effectively in their plants

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This Risk Based Strategies for Inspection & Maintenance (RBI & RBM) training course combines presentation of the key principles, methods, and best practices and enforces the learnings with case studies and Question & Answer workshops to maximize the benefits to the participants. The comprehensive course notes and presentation material will provide valuable reference.
