Asset Integrity & Pipeline Integrity Management

Pipeline Integrity Management studies on onshore and offshore pipelines, monitoring systems, integrated management, Decommissioning and Recommissioning.

Safety, performance and lifecycle management of critical assets

The Asset Integrity Management department develops all the activities required for the proper management and maintenance of an asset throughout its life cycle, ensuring high standards of safety, performance and overall Fit-for-Purpose condition.

Asset Integrity

From design to monitoring, Life Extension, Decommissioning and Recommissioning

We develop Pipeline Integrity Management studies on onshore and offshore pipelines.
Based on inspection data from different technologies (pigging, in-line inspection, ROV), we perform structural integrity analysis to verify pipeline resistance in the presence of anomalies such as corrosion defects, mechanical damage, cracks and free spans, in accordance with the main regulations in force.

We also carry out corrosion studies for the assessment of internal corrosion rates, and develop risk-based inspection and maintenance plans (Risk Based Assessment) for future asset management.
For pipelines that have reached the end of their design life, we perform all assessments necessary for Life Extension.

We provide design and installation services for monitoring systems, with a focus on advanced technologies such as fiber optic systems with FBG sensors for monitoring deformations induced by landslides and similar phenomena.
We offer support for remote data analysis and integrity assessment, with the possibility of integrating field data into stress analysis studies.

For data management and analysis, we rely on a consolidated integrated management system.

As part of the asset lifecycle, we also consider Decommissioning, the phase in which a pipeline or plant is no longer suitable for operation and requires specific safety actions.
We provide engineering services for the correct selection of remediation, demolition or in-situ maintenance procedures, including cost assessments.

We also develop feasibility studies to create new installations integrated into the structure of existing but no longer operational assets, enabling Recommissioning.
This allows operators to recover the residual value of the asset by changing its intended use and giving new life to plants or structures that would otherwise be dismantled.

What's inside?

Pipeline Integrity Management (PIM)

Discover more

We support operators in establishing and maintaining integrity management systems, applying technical, operational and organizational solutions to reduce risks, improve safety, minimize environmental emissions and improve asset performance while reducing costs. Our Pipeline Integrity Management activities include structural integrity studies, engineering for inspections, inspection support, supervision, risk assessment and assistance in the redevelopment of assets.

Decommissioning

We perform engineering analyses on items that are no longer able to operate safely, selecting the best procedures for cleaning, removing or ensuring their in-situ abandonment in full safety, always ensuring complete restoration of the working environment. We manage decommissioning activities in the energy sector, particularly the remediation and removal of equipment and plant sections used for the treatment, storage and transport of hydrocarbons (tanks, piping, related equipment, pipelines, buildings and structures).

Recommissioning

We carry out feasibility studies to create new installations integrated into existing assets that are no longer operational (for example assets in the decommissioning phase). This approach makes it possible to recover the residual value of the asset, change its intended use and give new life to facilities that would otherwise be demolished.

Our Goals rely on the strong integrity's principles that guide us. Find out more about Techfem governance
