Applying these disciplines to reduce costs, maintain schedules, manage technical risks, and handle legal concerns during a project's entire life cycle ensures operational safety and efficiency in e.g., Oil and Gas, Power Generation, and Nuclear Power industries.
Integrity Engineers may be required to manage, develop, or conduct the following:[1] Integrity Engineering encompasses the concept of: This may be applied to management, machines, devices, systems, materials, and processes that safely realize improvements to the lives of assets.
The Front End Engineering Design stage (FEED) aids in the selection of vessels, piping, pipelines, and other equipment.
It may also be the responsibility of the integrity engineer to incorporate and manage any variation identified (metal loss, material degradation, cracking mechanisms, mitigation issues, i.e. Cathodic protection potentials, coating failures, etc.)
It may be a generalist in nature and/or applied with specific prior knowledge denoted using a pre-nominal of Mechanical, Inspection, Asset, Well or Wellhead, Technical, Pipeline, Signal, Fabrication, or Commissioning depending upon the equipment or system under scrutiny.
