Achieve safe and cost-efficient operation of your industrial plants
Risk-based inspection (RBI) is a procedure in which industrial risks resulting from equipment or structural degradation are identified, assessed and categorised. Through an analysis of the probability and consequences of failure associated with each equipment, component or structure, a proper inspection and maintenance programme is then developed. RBI helps you to meet the financial, reliability and regulatory needs of the industry by improving your plant’s performance, availability and safety. It extends the lifetime of your plant by establishing a long-term testing and inspection procedure.
TÜV-RoiM (risk-oriented inspection and maintenance) is TÜV SÜD’s strategy for developing optimised, cost-effective inspection and maintenance programmes within an asset- and risk-management context. The strategy combines reliability and risk assessments with information extracted from expert judgement, physical models, and plant-specific and generic data. With this assessment, critical components can be differentiated from non-critical components, helping you determine where special maintenance measures need to be taken. We base our qualitative and quantitative techniques on internationally accepted standards and guidelines, and then individually tailor the solutions to your specific concerns.
The TÜV-ROIM process consists of six main steps:
- Consultancy regarding all questions concerning the introduction of an RBI inspection and maintenance system.
- Assessment of status and history, remaining life and fitness for service, operational events, component reliability, spare parts, resources and personnel
- Determination of specific measures and flexible, adequate inspection intervals, considering financial and regulatory criteria
- Development of optimised inspection and maintenance programmes in line with internationally accepted standards
- Implementation of industry-specific and customised solutions (including software applications) for risk-oriented lifetime management of systems and components
- Training for your staff to implement and operate the RBI system
