Following in-line inspection of a pipeline, the objective of a Fitness-for-Purpose (FFP) Assessment is to assess the results of the inspection and to identify and prioritize any features, both corrosion and any other features (dents, milling features, etc.) which may be an immediate threat to the integrity of the pipeline for remedial action.
The FFP Assessment provides a written report on the pipeline condition and advises on and justifies the need for a further detailed FFP and Future Integrity Planning and/or other studies to ensure the future integrity of the pipeline. This approach provides the following key benefits to the operator:
- Application of the most appropriate, industry-accepted assessment methodologies for all features
- Provides exact tasks to plan repair and maintenance
- Resulting actions reduce the immediate risk to the pipeline
