Deteriorating structures, foundations, and other infrastructure cost U.S. businesses billions of dollars per year. Oil & gas, petrochemicals, and other process industries are not immune to the problems deteriorating infrastructure can cause. Problems with structures and foundations, much like mechanical equipment, are a result of design deficiencies, construction defects, deteriorating conditions, extreme environmental events, and changes in applied loads. Much like a Mechanical Integrity (MI) program, an effective Structural Integrity (SI) program should address all aspects of the life cycle of a structure from design to retirement. An effective SI program must be multidisciplinary and informed by knowledge of a myriad of industry codes and standards (RAGAGEP). In this article, we will answer several key questions related to SI programs that should help you develop or improve you own program, and some of the related products and services the E2G | The Equity Engineering Group, Inc. has developed to meet your SI needs.
