Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII)
- Where the RBI identifies internal degradation mechanisms which can be followed up through periodic inspection, it is recommended to evaluate if the inspection can be performed non-intrusively
- Non-Intrusive Inspection means inspection from outside, without process interruption. Performed during production (or during shut down)
- Assessment is performed in accordance with DNV RP-G103, Non-Intrusive Inspection
- Aker Solutions have developed a NII screening methodology considering :
- Technical issues (design / construction data, inspection history etc)
- HSE issues
- Business issues (cost – benefit evaluations)
- Why NII?
- Reduced need for entering of confined space (safety of personnel)
- Increase production availability
- More flexible with plans for shut down work
- NII assessment capabilities will be implemented in Aker Solutions RBI and inspection management software
