The dilemma
You wrote the Corrosion Control Documents and you stuck to API 970 as close as practically possible. You completed Risk-Based Inspection studies for all equipment and eventhough API 581 was a little bit too complex, at least you kept it API 580 compliant. The Integrity Operating Windows were defined together with the CCD and even if you found the work process from API 584 a somewhat conflicting with the process to write the CCD, the variable table is complete.
But ...
Why is the Turn-Around scope for inspection just a list of equipment? What's the scope of work?
Why is it so difficult to get the IOW variables into the unit's alarm table? And how should the management of change for these variables work?
How do I ensure that all my Asset Management work processes align and which elements should the system cover?
This is the kind of challenge Taas.it turns into a solution with you.
The incident
A minor fault in the external electrical substation tripped the entire facility. Quickly you establish that the electrical load shedding didn't work as intended, while the emergency diesel generator did get a signal to start but did not. To top it up, the UPS in the control room failed, causing loss of situational awareness at the panel.
But ...
How are these events connected?
What really happened?
And how did corporate decision making lead to this vulnerability in the power supply?

About
"What
I can say straight off the bat is that the Relief Valve RBI resulted in hundreds of RV's
getting at least a 2-year interval extension. It also resulted in us
identifying previously unknown redesign cases that helped us better understand
the risk we had to manage.
…
It is of course difficult to put a real number onto what the actual $
savings are but it is easily multi-millions."
