Risk Based Inspection

Risk Based Inspections lead to risk level determinations associated with equipment, piping, and even entire operating plants. Prioritized inspections are a benefit because they assist with work load management, production/operational needs consideration, streamlined scheduling of turnarounds, cost savings, and supply chain management. ECE provides:

  • Risk level determination to safety, environment and operations
  • Inspection Priority Schedules development
  • Inspection Procedures development
  • Online & Interactive Documentation Solutions
