RISK-BASED INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE (RBIM)
Risk-Based Inspection and Maintenance program (RBIM) is a service provided to users of complex plants who, using survey techniques, build a forecasting model of the deterioration of their assets by defining a plan of periodic interventions which aim to extend their life cycle.
Steps of the Risk-Based Inspection and Maintenance Program
The steps for XEFRA RBIM services are:
asset classification and life-cycle model elaboration with CAPEX, OPEX and RISKEX
analysis of the negative events probability
consequences of failure associated with each equipment, component or structure
inspection and maintenance programme development
inspection and predictive maintenance techniques (NDT, vibration of rotating machines, thermal analysis of electrical and mechanical parts, lubricate oil analysis)
periodic follow up
Benefits are optimisation of operations, cost-effective inspection and maintenance programmes within an asset and risk-management context.
