Mechanical Integrity Program Services

Mechanical Integrity Programs (MIP) play a vital part in ensuring the safety and reliability of oil, gas and chemical facilities and ensuring industry compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements issued by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration), and SEMS (Safety and Environmental Management Systems).
 
Many production platforms, pipelines, refineries, power plants and chemical facilities need support in developing, implementing or improving their Mechanical Integrity Programs.  Some organizations may require assessment or need a gap analysis of their facility’s Mechanical Integrity Program. Other organizations may need to know how to better manage their Mechanical Integrity Program due to poor performance in a business sense, which could include excessive inspection costs or an increasing inspection schedule backlog.
