Repair Planning
Finding a defect is only half the job. We turn inspection findings into a proper repair scope, written to the relevant code, and help make sure the work is done correctly.
About repair planning
When an inspection identifies damage or degradation, the next question is what to do about it. A sound repair depends on a clear scope, the right method and a specification that the people doing the work can follow.
We develop repair scopes and plans to the code that applies to the equipment, whether that is API 653 for storage tanks, API 510 for pressure vessels, API 570 for pipework or EEMUA 159 for above ground storage tanks. The plan sets out what is to be repaired, the method to be used and the standard the finished work must meet.
We also write the accompanying specifications and can support oversight of the repair on site, checking that it is carried out in line with the specification and the code so the equipment is returned to service with confidence.
What repair planning covers
We take a defect from inspection finding through to a clear, code-compliant repair scope.
- Reviewing inspection findings and defect data
- Defining the repair scope and boundaries
- Selecting the appropriate repair method
- Planning to the relevant code (API 653, API 510, API 570, EEMUA 159)
- Writing repair specifications
- Setting inspection and test requirements for the repair
- Supporting oversight of the repair on site
- Confirming the completed work meets the specification and code
Why repair planning matters
The right repair
The method and scope suit the defect and the equipment, not a generic fix.
Code compliant
Repairs are planned and specified to the code that governs the equipment.
Clear for contractors
A written specification gives the repair team an unambiguous standard to work to.
Back in service with confidence
Oversight confirms the finished work is sound before the equipment returns to duty.
What you receive
You receive a repair scope and plan that sets out what is to be repaired, the method and the code the work is planned to, together with the repair specification the contractor works from.
Where we support oversight of the repair, we provide a record confirming that the work was carried out in line with the specification and the applicable code, including any inspection and test points along the way.
The documentation gives you a clear trail from the original inspection finding through to a completed, code-compliant repair, which supports both your records and any later demonstration of integrity.
