Risk-Based Structural Integrity Management for Topside Structures
Year: 2018 Language: english Author: BV Genre: Guide ISBN: NI 653 DT R00 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 35 Description: Current industrial practice for the inspection of topsides structures is based on API-RP-2SIM requirement that inspection of topsides structure be performed annually by visual examination. However, the final report of the Joint Industry Project (JIP) on the Structural Integrity Management (SIM) of topsides structures acknowledged that even if the annual visual inspection allows a high proportion of typical degradations to be detected, it may fail in detecting those that lead to a significant percentage of the reported failures (MSL, 2004). It proposed therefore a risk-based approach as an alternative to improve topsides inspection regimes. This leads to more frequent and detailed inspection of high-risk structures increasing the likelihood of detecting early enough critical defect. Following the release of the API-RP-2SIM which addresses the issue of Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) especially for the underwater structure of fixed offshore platforms, the development of guidance for the RBI of other offshore structures, especially topsides structures is being considered. In this vein, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed a specific standard for the SIM of offshore structures (ISO/DIS 19901-9) including topsides structures in which guidance for performing RBI is provided.

Description: Current industrial practice for the inspection of topsides
structures is based on API-RP-2SIM requirement that
inspection of topsides structure be performed annually by
visual examination. However, the final report of the Joint
Industry Project (JIP) on the Structural Integrity Management
(SIM) of topsides structures acknowledged that even if the
annual visual inspection allows a high proportion of typical
degradations to be detected, it may fail in detecting those
that lead to a significant percentage of the reported failures
(MSL, 2004). It proposed therefore a risk-based approach as
an alternative to improve topsides inspection regimes. This
leads to more frequent and detailed inspection of high-risk
structures increasing the likelihood of detecting early
enough critical defect.
Following the release of the API-RP-2SIM which addresses
the issue of Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) especially for the
underwater structure of fixed offshore platforms, the development
of guidance for the RBI of other offshore structures,
especially topsides structures is being considered. In this
