Mechanical Integrity Program Development

Mechanical integrity (MI) and asset integrity management (AIM) programs have proven to be one of the most difficult process safety management (PSM) elements and plant activities to effectively develop and implement. Our professional engineering advisors are MI experts who have the experience and capabilities to help clients overcome this challenge and create an effective mechanical integrity program based on a thorough understanding of regulatory requirements and expectations.

ABS Group has helped hundreds of facilities develop and implement cost-effective and compliant mechanical integrity programs that meet OSHA PSM and EPA RMP regulations as well as other global process safety requirements.

Mechanical Integrity Services

Our MI experts have provided process safety, reliability and risk assessment services to a wide variety of production and process industries since 1977. ABS Group has also contributed to many industry committees addressing asset integrity issues, such as:

  • American Petroleum Institute (API)
  • American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
  • National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
  • The American Institute of Chemical Engineers' Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS)
  • International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR)

Our expertise in this subject matter was recognized when we were asked to author the book often referenced as the industry guide for MI programs, CCPS' Guidelines for Mechanical Integrity Systems (Wiley, 2006).
