Design, build, and commission.
Design basis, materials, fabrication, construction, testing, and commissioning establish the asset's technical baseline.
ACROSS THE ASSET LIFECYCLE
Integrity management changes across the asset lifecycle.
The technical questions change as an asset moves from design and commissioning through operation, modification, life extension, and retirement.
Design→Build & Commission→Operate & Maintain→Inspect & Assess→Modify or Extend Life→Decommission
Manage condition through service.
Operations, maintenance, inspection, degradation, repairs, and changing service conditions shape the asset's condition history.
Determine the next lifecycle path.
Modification, life extension, replacement, and decommissioning require an understanding of current condition and remaining requirements.
THE LIFECYCLE TEST
Can today’s decision be understood in the context of how the asset was designed, operated, changed, and previously assessed?
Lifecycle continuity strengthens Asset Integrity Management when each decision begins with the knowledge already earned by the asset.
