VAIL Plant Module - Structural Integrity Management System (SIMS)

Structural Integrity Management System (SIMS) is the method of securing compliance with regulatory as well as organizational requirements over a period of time, ensuring the structure is fit-for-purpose until decommissioning or removal. An effective SIM system is substantially critical in preventing catastrophic failure in complex industrial facilities.

At Velosi, we have endorsed the international codes, such as ISO 19900, ISO 19902, ISO 19904 and API RP 2 SIM, in order for our structural integrity experts to ensure sustainability and integrity of onshore and offshore structures during all the phases of the structure life cycle.

Structural Integrity Management System

As a minimum, we cover the following types of structures

Offshore Platforms – Subsea Structures
Offshore Platforms – Topside Structures
Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO)
Hull and Flexible Riser
Onshore Structures
