Asset Integrity
Designing and maintaining critical systems that remain fit for purpose throughout their designed lifetime is essential for the success and safety of process industries. Ensuring the containment of hazardous materials and the reliable operation of safety systems when needed are among the most fundamental responsibilities of any facility. Ultimately, an asset is considered to have integrity when it is operated and maintained in such a way that the combination of the likelihood of failure and the consequence of failure reduces risks to people, the environment, and the company to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable.
At Dynaflow Research Group, our experts are highly trained to provide detailed advice and support throughout all phases of the asset lifecycle. From the early design stage (FEED) through to maintenance activities during plant turnarounds, our team ensures that systems are designed and operated to the highest standards.
With offices in Europe (NL), the Middle East (UAE), and North America, we are strategically positioned to quickly mobilize for on-site inspections and assessments. Our team has extensive experience conducting asset integrity inspections for both the onshore and offshore industries. These services include vibration measurements to evaluate the performance and safety of oscillating equipment, as well as Barcol hardness testing to ensure compliance of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) equipment joints. Additionally, our REX digital service enables our engineering team to provide remote troubleshooting and support directly from our offices, offering real-time solutions when required.
With over 35 years of global experience in asset integrity, DRG is a trusted partner in finding practical, effective solutions that can be directly implemented in the field. Together, we ensure that your systems remain safe, compliant, and fully operational throughout their designed lifespan.
Fitness For Service
Over time, equipment might need to be assessed to ensure their integrity to continue functioning as designed. For that, the equipment is evaluated through analytical methods based on the applicable design code or through more complex and accurate numerical methods like FEA (Finite Element Analysis).
Failure Analysis
Despite the best engineering practices, failures cannot always be avoided. In case of a failure involving vibrations, leakage, or ruptures we can assist in determining the root cause, how to solve it, and how to prevent similar failures in the future.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
With FEA the possibilities are endless. In the storage and transportation industry, Finite Element Analysis may be used to quantify explosion damage or assess the effectiveness of a system to withstand dynamic loads. DRG has extensive experience in the use of FEA for linear, non-linear, dynamic, and thermal calculations.
