What you will be able to do.

Inspection, maintenance and reliability engineers; PSM coordinators owning the MI element; operations engineers responsible for safeguards on their unit

Mechanical integrity is the PSM element with the most records and the least clarity about which ones matter. The course explains how to identify safety-critical equipment from the PHA and bow-ties, write performance standards for it, set inspection and test intervals using API 510/570/580 and IEC 61511, and manage deficiencies and deferrals so that a known defect never becomes an accepted condition. Participants identify the SCE on a unit and write a performance standard for one item.

  • Identify safety-critical equipment and link each item to the hazard it controls
  • Write performance standards: functionality, availability, reliability, survivability
  • Set inspection intervals for pressure vessels, piping, tanks, relief devices and SIF using RBI and proof-test logic
  • Manage deficiencies, temporary repairs and deferrals with the right approval level
  • Assure quality of new and repaired equipment: materials, procedures, positive material identification
  • Use MI KPIs: overdue inspections, backlog, failures on test, integrity operating windows
