Webinar Overview
Many operating companies have adopted Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) as the foundation of their piping integrity programs. But is RBI always the right tool? And more importantly — is your current program actually improving reliability, reducing risk, and preventing failures?
In this webinar, Cognascents’ piping and mechanical integrity specialists will explore common gaps in piping integrity programs, why some RBI implementations fall short, and how to evaluate whether your current approach is truly fit-for-purpose.
Attendees will walk away with practical insights to help strengthen their piping integrity strategy and ensure it supports both safety and business objectives.
Learning Objectives:
- Focus your piping program to reduce failures.
- Key indicators that your piping integrity program may not be as effective as you think.
- Common failure modes and blind spots in RBI-based piping programs.
- When RBI is the right tool — and when alternative or supplemental approaches are more appropriate.
- How to align inspection strategies with damage mechanisms, operating conditions, and risk tolerance.
- Practical steps to improve program quality, consistency, and sustainability.
Who should attend:
- Mechanical Integrity Personnel, Engineers, and Inspectors.
- Individuals interested in Risk-Based Inspection.
- Process Safety and Reliability Professionals.
- Operations and Maintenance Personnel involved with the integrity or reliability program.
