Working with operators to troubleshoot and solve their integrity problems as they arise gives MCS Kenny key practical insight and know-how
MCS Kenny has an international track record in providing consultancy, support and engineering solutions in the area of subsea integrity management.
A diligent, disciplined and rigorous approach to Integrity Management provides confidence in ensuring a safe facility, whilst minimising inspection costs and providing a framework for life extension. An integrity management strategy will deliver a number of key benefits. A risk-based strategy will target inspections, transforming the annual inspection cycle into an optimised cost and targeted exercise. Feeding the results back into the plan will target high-risk areas and reduce inspections in low risk areas. A ‘live' database of knowledge of your asset will provide an excellent base from which to evaluate remaining life potential and plan for future requirements.
In addition to the traditional risk assessment and inspection strategy development, MCS Kenny support services provide a “one-stop shop” solution to integrity problems. Our inspection management services identify the available and relevant measures, contract 3rd party specialists, manage the inspection process through clear procedures, provide quality data and analysis, identify the remedial actions required and finally manage the implementation phase of the solution. Given MCS Kenny independence from inspection, manufacturing and engineering contractors, this allows us to work with client preferred suppliers or ensures our clients gain access to the best solutions the industry can offer.
“The integrity management strategy implemented by MCS Kenny provides a cost effective, risk based approach to securing the continued integrity of the West of Shetland dynamic riser systems. The IMS also ensures we record the operating parameters for the riser systems and this information is readily available to support life extension work. Confidence in maintaining the integrity of our existing infrastructure is key to providing the opportunity for future tie-back developments.”
