• Risk Assessment: Identify and assess potential risks associated with assets or equipment. This includes evaluating factors such as operating conditions, historical failure data, consequences of failure, and likelihood of failure mechanisms.
• Risk Ranking: Assign risk rankings or scores to different assets or components based on the assessment results. This ranking helps prioritize assets for inspection and maintenance efforts.
• Inspection Planning: Develop an inspection plan that focuses on higher-risk assets or components. This plan may include selecting appropriate inspection techniques, frequencies, and priorities based on risk levels.
• Mitigation Strategies: Implement risk mitigation strategies for higher-risk assets, which may include improving maintenance practices, implementing protective measures, enhancing monitoring and control systems, or considering asset replacement or redesign.
• Organizational Resources Allocation: By adopting a risk-based approach to inspection and maintenance, organizations can allocate resources more effectively, prioritize critical assets, reduce downtime, enhance safety, and optimize overall asset performance and reliability.

• Corrosion Loops and Inventory Group Mark-ups (MSDs/P&IDs Mark-up)
• Quantitative Risk Analysis through RBI Software (E2G, APM Meridium, or Palladio RBI Software).
• Preparation of Inspection Plans and Procedures.

Overall, effective deadleg management helps minimize the risks of corrosion, contamination, leaks, or failures associated with stagnant or underutilized sections of piping within industrial facilities. It contributes to maintaining asset integrity, reliability, and safety throughout the lifecycle of the piping system.

The key aspects of Deadleg Management include:

• Identification: Identifying and documenting deadlegs within the piping system. This involves mark-up the location, dimensions, and characteristics of deadlegs, including their history and service conditions.
• Risk Assessment: Conducting a risk assessment to evaluate the potential hazards associated with deadlegs. Factors such as fluid composition, temperature, pressure, corrosion potential, and environmental exposure are considered in assessing the risk levels.
• Mitigation Strategies: Implementing mitigation measures to manage the risks posed by deadlegs. This may include periodic flushing or cleaning of deadlegs to remove stagnant fluids, applying corrosion inhibitors, installing monitoring devices for corrosion or microbial growth, or considering design modifications to minimize deadleg formation in new installations.
• Inspection and Monitoring: Establishing inspection and monitoring protocols for deadlegs to detect any signs of degradation or integrity issues. This may involve using non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, corrosion monitoring devices, visual inspections, or other methods to assess the condition of deadlegs over time.

Key aspects of Condition Monitoring Location include:

• Selection of Monitoring Points: Identifying critical locations or components within an asset where monitoring is essential for early detection of potential issues or degradation. These points are selected based on factors such as historical failure data, operational significance, and risk levels
• Monitoring Techniques: Determining the appropriate monitoring techniques and methods to be applied at each location. This may include sensor installations, data logging systems, visual inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT), or online monitoring systems depending on the parameters being monitored and the asset's characteristics.

• AIMS III Review (Mechanical Completion): takes place on completion of procurement fabrication and installation. It is an opportunity to review the adequacy of construction and any outstanding non-conformances. Completion of AIMS III will be signalled by mechanical completion certificate.

• AIMS IV Review (Commissioning): takes place only where there is a separate and distinct period for pre-commissioning. This review will consider the results of the pre-commissioning tests and activities in advance of commencement of the commissioning activities. The commissioning schedule will be reviewed in the light of the pre-commissioning results. The review will also seek assurance that the commissioning team have the necessary training and experience to complete the scheduled activities without jeopardizing the integrity of the assets.

• AIMS Review V (Pre-start up): takes place to confirm that all new facilities / equipment comply with the design intent, and that they are in a suitable condition to be handed over to Field Operations for normal operation after the successful completion / formal acceptance of the performance test results. The review will also ensure that all issues identified during the previous AIMS Reviews have been satisfactorily addressed prior to start-up. Completion of the AIMS V Review will be signalled by the issue of a Ready for Start-up Certificate
