Report Reviews
A report is only as useful as the confidence you can place in it. We review third-party inspection reports and data independently, so you know they are sound and you know what they mean.
About report reviews
Operators receive a great deal of inspection data from contractors and third parties, and the quality and clarity of that work varies. A report full of readings and photographs is of limited value if it does not say what the findings mean or whether they have been interpreted correctly.
We review third-party inspection reports and the underlying data independently. That covers whether the work was carried out to the right scope and standard, whether the data supports the conclusions drawn, and whether anything significant has been missed or understated.
Because the review is carried out by inspecting engineers, it goes beyond a paperwork check. We give you a considered view on what the findings mean for the integrity of the asset and its continued safe operation.
What a report review covers
We examine both the quality of the report and the integrity story it tells.
- Checking the scope and methods used against the standard
- Assessing whether the data supports the stated conclusions
- Reviewing thickness readings, defect data and calculations
- Identifying gaps, omissions or inconsistencies
- Assessing remaining life and fitness-for-service conclusions
- Interpreting what the findings mean for continued operation
- Highlighting items that warrant further inspection or action
- A clear written summary of the review and its conclusions
Why an independent review matters
Confidence in the data
Independent assurance that the inspection was done properly and the numbers stand up.
A second opinion
A technical view from engineers with no involvement in producing the original report.
Meaning, not just data
An integrity view on what the findings mean for continued safe operation.
Better decisions
A sound basis for run, repair or further-inspection decisions on the asset.
What you receive
You receive a written review that sets out our assessment of the report and the data, any gaps or concerns we have identified and our view on the conclusions that have been drawn.
Where the findings have implications for the integrity of the asset, we explain what they mean for continued operation and where further inspection or action would be prudent.
The review is written plainly so it can support your own decisions and be shared with duty holders, regulators or insurers as needed.
