Inspection & Integrity
PRINCIPLE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION
TIC helps its customers improve the integrity of their operations and assets. Our approach is based on reducing safety and business risks while ensuring profitability.
Regulations, aging assets and unreliability are leading many companies to reassess the elements of integrity management, including assets and systems. We bring a quality approach to every stage of the improvement process.
TIC combines state-of-the-art methodologies and tools with expert technical judgment to identify and then recommend improvements in integrity. Our expertise guarantees safe, reliable assets and efficient systems.
Our offer
FFS evaluation
This is an important engineering tool when an asset has no original design information, or has outlived its useful life. This technique is applicable to equipment operating in high-temperature and/or cyclic service or assets that have suffered any event that may affect its serviceability such as high temperatures, overloads, or fire.
RBI Services
This inspection enables us to adapt the inspection procedures (frequency, nature and scope of checks) to the risks identified (probability of failure, consequences of failure).
