Unlock Operational Excellence through Risk Mitigation
In today’s dynamic industrial landscape, effective risk management and inspection planning are essential. By employing a proactive and data-driven approach, Cognascents’ Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) services ensure optimized inspection planning and resource allocation, ultimately reducing operational risks and enhancing the overall performance and life of your assets.
What is Risk-Based Inspection?
Risk-Based Inspection is a methodology that focuses on prioritizing inspection efforts based on the likelihood and consequences of asset failure. It utilizes a systematic and a qualitative, semi-quantitative or quantitative approach to assess risks associated with assets, enabling informed decisions regarding inspection planning and resource allocation.
How does Risk-Based Inspection work?
Our Risk-Based Inspection process involves a comprehensive analysis of asset condition, historical data, and operational parameters to determine the likelihood of failure and potential consequences. By considering factors such as asset criticality, damage or degradation mechanisms, inspection effectiveness, and regulatory requirements, we develop a risk matrix that ranks assets based on their risk levels. This risk ranking guides the development of an optimized inspection plan, focusing resources on the assets with the highest risks.
Our experienced professionals combine expertise in asset integrity, risk analysis, materials science, and inspection techniques to tailor the Risk-Based Inspection process to your specific industry and asset types. We leverage advanced software tools and industry best practices, such as API 580 and API RP 581, to perform the risk assessment, allowing for accurate identification and prioritization of potential risks.
