Course Description

096-Building Mechanical Integrity Programs into New Plants

Mechanical Integrity (MI) is the process of assuring equipment is in satisfactory condition to safely and reliably perform its intended purpose. MI is more than a set of inspection programs, as it should have an affect on design basis of the plant, operational procedures and maintenance procedures.

The most effective method to implement MI is to define the goals in the Conceptual Design phase, and to develop strategies to reduce the Risk of Failure, and to reduce the Consequences of Failure. With this basis, a body of knowledge is available during the design, construction, commissioning, operational and maintenance phases of a plant to assist technical personnel in accurately assessing the condition of the equipment during the operational phase.

This course describes the necessary processes and approaches to define the end goals, and to assure the goals are achieved. By taking this course, the student should understand:

History of MI implementation
Reasons that MI should be implemented during the Conceptual Design phase
Available technical resources
Driving Factors for MI implementation
Problem areas to be avoided
Implementation strategies

This course needs an editorial review. There are locations within the document that don't read smoothly. This lead to re-reading several areas multiple times for a clear understanding. However, overall I would recommend this course to anyone involved in plant maintenance and MI programs. If the wording of the unclear content were revised, I would probably increase my rating to 5 stars.

A good overview of MI in operating and new facilities. A good discussion of risk ranking and mitigation. Lot's of good emphasis on solid practice for new plant commissioning with the MI information ready to go.
