Technology
Technology is playing an increasingly important role in the inspection of pressure vessels.
By using advanced technologies, inspectors can identify and assess defects more accurately and efficiently, which can help to improve the safety of asset intensive energy industry.
Engineering
Engineering is the application of scientific principles for practical purposes, as in the design and construction of machines, structures, and systems.
In the context of static equipment inspection, engineering can refer to the design, implementation, and maintenance of inspection systems.
Design
Design is the process of creating a blueprint or plan for the construction or creation of an object, system, or process.
In the context of static equipment inspection, design can refer to the design of inspection systems, inspection procedures, and inspection reports.
Strategy
Strategy is the process of planning and directing the overall course of an organization or individual.
In the context of static equipment inspection, strategy can refer to the development and implementation of inspection plans, risk-based inspection (RBI) programs, and asset integrity management systems.
TEDS focuses on these four terms
- Technology, Engineering, Design, and Strategy -
that are all essential for effective static equipment integrity.
By combining these four elements, TEDS can help energy companies
to improve the safety, reliability, and efficiency of their operations.
