Mechanical Integrity Toolkit
Effective and Efficient Mechanical Integrity Programs
Facility owners and operators must work continuously to improve the effectiveness of mechanical integrity programs to promote safer, more reliable operations and reduce the likelihood of process safety incidents. ABS Group has helped hundreds of process facilities develop and implement cost-effective and compliant mechanical integrity programs so that facility owners/operators can confirm asset integrity, maximize return on investments through improved reliability and performance, and maintain their licenses to operate.
With a proven track record of more than 40 years providing both objective and risk-informed insights to the Oil, Gas and Chemical sector, our experts have gathered the following information resources to help organizations solve mechanical integrity issues.
