Aries Asset Integrity Management services helps asset owners to effectively manage the integrity of high value assets to help maximize the utilization while minimizing the risks associated. Aries provides various services which assists clients to manage and ensure the integrity; through managing asset database, performing various surveys, checking integrity (structural, piping, electrical, machinery etc), engineering analysis, life extension studies etc. Together with other divisions within the group offering further services in inspection and maintenance like UT gauging, Conventional/Advanced NDTs, Rope Access, Corrosion Control Services etc. we are able to provide total solutions for 3D asset integrity management, Marine asset integrity ,offshore asset management, subsea asset integrity monitoring etc.
Yes. Under the A-SAMS methodology, condition assessment surveys collect steel thickness gauging data, which is then transferred into finite element models (using software such as SACS and Femap/Nastran) to run a global stress analysis on the structure’s existing condition. This avoids relying on original design assumptions alone and instead assesses the structure as it actually stands today.
The A-SAMS methodology calculates minimum required scantlings against class requirements and develops renewal proposals that incorporate global structural utilization credits, rather than defaulting to conservative renewal of all gauged-thin steel. This approach is presented as delivering steel savings compared to conventional survey methodologies, subject to class surveyor review and approval of the renewal proposal.
Yes. The A-SAMS methodology explicitly includes class surveyor review and approval as a step, following the development of renewal proposals that incorporate global utilization credits. Detailed engineering and fabrication drawings are then produced after this class approval step, ensuring the renewal proposal is class-compliant before fabrication proceeds.
Aries’ asset integrity services include underwater inspections and aerial/unmanned surveys performed by drones, alongside 3D laser scanning and asset integrity surveys. These are combined with divisional inspection expertise such as UT gauging, conventional and advanced NDT, and rope access to support integrity assessment without always requiring scaffolding, diving teams, or asset shutdown.
