Core Capabilities

Asset Integrity and Engineering Consulting

Our engineering consulting services support fitness-for-service assessments, remaining life evaluation and root-cause failure analysis to help clients extend asset life safely.

AiOM Platform

Manage asset health before problems become failures.

AiOM brings inspection, maintenance, risk and equipment data into one platform. It helps identify potential issues early and prioritise what needs attention. The result is fewer unexpected shutdowns, better reliability and more informed decisions.

Root Cause Failure Analysis

RCFA helps identify why a failure happened, not just what went wrong. It looks at the symptoms, possible causes, and the sequence of events that led to the failure. The test helps determine the actual root cause so the same problem can be prevented in the future. It supports better decisions on repair, improvement, and long-term reliability.

Remaining Life Assessment

Know how long your equipment can safely continue to operate.

This assessment evaluates the current condition and degradation of critical equipment. It estimates the remaining safe operating life based on inspection and operating data. This helps businesses plan maintenance, replacement and future investments with confidence.

Fitness-for-Service

Know whether damaged equipment can continue to operate safely.

The assessment evaluates defects, damage or deterioration against recognised engineering standards. It determines whether equipment can safely remain in service, needs repair, or requires replacement. This helps avoid unnecessary shutdowns while maintaining safety and reliability.

In-situ Metallography

Understand the condition of metal without removing the equipment.

This technique examines the material structure directly on equipment while it remains in service. It can reveal signs of ageing, overheating, creep and other material degradation. The findings help identify potential failures before they become critical.

ARTiS Reformer Tubes

Assess the health and remaining life of reformer tubes.

ARTiS combines inspection and engineering analysis to identify tube damage and degradation. It helps detect problems such as overheating, creep and material deterioration. This enables safer operation, better maintenance planning and more reliable tube life prediction.

Boiler Audit

Find hidden risks that can affect boiler safety and performance.

A boiler audit examines the condition, operation and critical components of the boiler system. It identifies potential weaknesses, deterioration and areas for improvement. The result is practical guidance to improve safety, reliability and operating efficiency.

Cathodic Protection

Protect metal structures from corrosion before damage becomes costly.

Cathodic protection helps control corrosion in pipelines, tanks and other metal structures. The system is assessed to ensure it is providing the right level of protection. This helps extend asset life, reduce corrosion-related failures and lower maintenance costs.

Knowledge-Based Audit (RBI)

Turn plant knowledge and inspection data into better maintenance decisions.

The audit reviews existing asset information, inspection practices and risk management processes. It identifies gaps that could lead to missed failures or unnecessary maintenance. The outcome is a clearer, risk-based approach to managing equipment reliability.

Engineering Critical Analysis

Determine whether critical equipment can safely handle its operating conditions.

The analysis evaluates design, materials, loads, defects and operating conditions. It helps identify potential weaknesses that may affect the safety or reliability of an asset. This supports sound engineering decisions before problems become failures.

Storage Tank Inspection & Audit

Know the condition of your storage tanks before a leak or failure occurs.

The inspection evaluates the tank structure, materials and areas vulnerable to corrosion or damage. It identifies defects that could affect safe storage and continued operation. The findings help plan repairs, maintenance and future inspections effectively.

Fire Damage Assessment

Understand whether equipment remains safe after a fire.

Fire exposure can change the strength and condition of equipment even when damage is not visible. This assessment evaluates the effects of heat and fire on materials and critical components. It helps determine whether equipment can return to service, requires repair or needs replacement.

Plant Life Extension

Extend plant operation safely without relying on assumptions.

The assessment evaluates the condition, degradation and remaining life of critical plant assets. It identifies what needs to be repaired, replaced or monitored to continue operation safely. This can help extend plant life while reducing unnecessary capital expenditure.

Engineering Design Review

Identify design risks before they become operational problems.

The review examines engineering designs, calculations, materials and operating requirements. It helps identify potential weaknesses, safety concerns and opportunities for improvement. This ensures designs are practical, reliable and fit for their intended purpose.

Structural Stability

Ensure structures remain safe under their actual operating conditions.

The assessment evaluates whether a structure can safely withstand its expected loads and conditions. It identifies weaknesses, deterioration or changes that may affect structural safety. The results support repair decisions, safe operation and structural certification.

Plant Structural Integrity

Keep the structures supporting your plant safe and reliable.

The assessment examines critical civil and structural assets for deterioration, damage and ageing. It helps identify structures that require closer inspection, repair or life assessment. This supports safer operations and better long-term maintenance planning.

Energy Audit

Find where energy is being lost and where efficiency can improve.

An energy audit reviews how energy is consumed across plant equipment and operations. It identifies inefficiencies, avoidable losses and opportunities to reduce consumption. The outcome is a practical roadmap for improving efficiency and reducing operating costs.

Contract R&D

Solve complex engineering problems through focused research and testing.

Contract R&D provides customised research, testing and technical investigation for specific industry challenges. It helps develop, validate or improve materials, products, processes and engineering solutions. The work is tailored to the client's technical objectives and business requirements.

Shaft Failure Analysis

Find out why a shaft failed and how to prevent it from happening again.

The analysis examines the fracture, material condition, loading and operating history. It identifies whether fatigue, overload, material defects or other factors caused the failure. The findings help determine corrective actions and improve equipment reliability.

Boiler Tube Failure Analysis

Identify why boiler tubes fail and prevent repeat failures.

The investigation examines the failed tube, operating conditions and surrounding components. It identifies causes such as corrosion, overheating, erosion, fatigue or material degradation. The results help address the root cause and improve boiler reliability.

Weld Failure Analysis

Understand why a weld cracked or failed.

The analysis examines the weld, surrounding material and conditions that may have contributed to the failure. It helps identify issues related to welding, material properties, stresses or service conditions. This enables corrective action and reduces the risk of similar failures in the future.

Fastener Failure Analysis

Find out why bolts, nuts or other fasteners failed.

The investigation examines the failed fastener, material, loading and installation conditions. It identifies causes such as fatigue, overload, corrosion, improper tightening or material issues. The findings support corrective action and help prevent repeat failures.
