Inspection
Work Planning
This is some text inside of a div block
A documented plan defining the inspection activities required to assess the condition and integrity of equipment or assets.
An Inspection Plan specifies the inspection methods, scope, acceptance criteria, inspection intervals, required competencies, inspection locations and reporting requirements necessary to evaluate equipment condition and maintain mechanical integrity. Inspection Plans provide the basis for executing planned inspection programs throughout the asset lifecycle.
Inspection Plans ensure inspection activities are performed consistently, systematically and in accordance with engineering and regulatory requirements.
Inspection Plans are commonly developed using applicable codes, historical inspection data, degradation mechanisms and Risk-Based Inspection methodologies to optimize inspection scope and frequency.
An Inspection Plan defines the required inspection activities before work begins, whereas an Inspection Record documents the inspection results after the work has been completed.
