Condition survey and structural-integrity assessment of an ageing process structure.
The challenge
The owner needed to know how much life remained in a corroding process structure — and what to fix first — without taking the plant offline.
Our approach
We surveyed the structure, tested critical members, and modelled remaining capacity to produce a prioritised, costed strengthening roadmap aligned to the plant's shutdown windows.
The outcome
The client received a defensible asset-life assessment and a phased repair plan that fit the maintenance budget and the operating calendar.
