MATERIAL CONDITION ASSESSMENT

Determining the actual condition of the material and/or the primary and secondary causes of the damage or deterioration observed or anticipated are prerequisites of a fitness-for-service or a risk based inspection study. Ion has CSWIP qualified experts in condition and damage assessments in accordance with API 571 and VGB-S-517, fitness-for-service assessments according to BS 7910, API 579-1/ASME FFS-1, API 1104, and developing and implementing a risk based inspection according to API 580 and API 581.

MATERIAL DAMAGE ASSESSMENT

Catastrophic failures of critical plant production systems may result in personal injury, environmental impact, loss in production volume or quality. Monitoring deviations between the design and the service conditions of a system and mitigating or avoiding such deviations are concerns of reliability engineering. A viable reliability engineering program contents a root cause failure analysis process in which the damage mechanisms and their causes are determined.

We initiate a failure root cause analysis by identifying the facts surrounding an incident. We then suggest the best course of action based on our previous experiences and corresponding budget to our clients for their evaluation. It is often necessary to visit the scene of incident and obtain the system’s design and engineering information, fabrication and erection records and operational logs, as much as possible, for drawing the overall framework.

STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a field of engineering concerned with the continuous monitoring and assessment of the condition of structures such as bridges, buildings, dams, and pipelines. Ion Metal has expertise to build SHM systems that utilize various sensors, data acquisition techniques, and analysis methods to detect and assess changes in a structure’s condition over time. By continuously monitoring parameters such as strain, vibration, temperature, and corrosion, SHM systems can identify potential structural weaknesses, damage, or deterioration, allowing for timely maintenance and repair to ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of the structure.
