Industrial Piping & Pipeline Inspections

Service Scope & Examination Focus

Category Objectives

• Identify physical defects, damage and deterioration in designated assets.
• Check installation, assembly and workmanship against specified requirements.
• Evaluate components against relevant technical acceptance criteria.
• Support informed acceptance, maintenance and asset-use decisions.
• Identify findings requiring prompt technical attention.
• Verify specified rectifications through targeted reinspection.

Inspection Methodology

An agreed inspection plan defines the assets, criteria, methods and examination extent. Findings relate to the identified items and the evidence obtained.

• Define scope. Confirm equipment boundaries, inspection stage, criteria and required deliverables.
• Plan the examination. Select competent inspectors, methods, instruments and safe access arrangements.
• Confirm readiness. Confirm asset identity, configuration, accessibility and required isolation.
• Inspect equipment. Examine condition, installation, assembly, workmanship and specified dimensions.
• Correlate evidence. Compare observations with drawings, measurements and supporting test results.
• Evaluate findings. Determine conformity within scope and promptly communicate significant defects.
• Issue the report. Present itemised evidence, conclusions and examination limitations.
• Reinspect rectifications. Where commissioned, examine corrected items and update their recorded status.

Key Deliverables & Outcomes

• A documented condition record for inspected assets and components.
• Traceable findings supported by photographs, measurements or other relevant evidence.
• Clearly identified deviations and examination limitations.
• A practical basis for maintenance, repair and acceptance decisions.
• Recorded rectification status where reinspection is commissioned.
