Asset Integrity Management

What is Asset Integrity Management (AIM)?

Asset integrity management (AIM) ensures that the right processes, procedures and tools are in place to ensure that your plant assets function safely, effectively and efficiently at every stage of its lifecycle.

Why is having an Asset Integrity Management programme important?

A plant integrity programme ensures that all aspects of operations essential to safety and integrity are properly designed, constructed, tested, operated, inspected and maintained in a sustainable, holistic and systematic way. This ensures service and performance integrity without compromising health, safety and the environment.
