Aging Infrastructure
Creates Integrity
Uncertainty.

Inspection data alone does not guarantee integrity confidence. Asset owners operating aging facilities require integrated engineering thinking — not more data, but better decisions.

Aging infrastructure requires engineering judgment — not inspection volume.

The Industry Challenge

More Inspection Data.
Less Integrity Confidence.

Canadian energy infrastructure continues to age. Facilities built for 20-year design lives now operate at 35, 40, even 50 years. Inspection programmes generate more data than ever — yet integrity uncertainty often grows alongside it.

"The challenge is not a shortage of inspection data. The challenge is converting that data into actionable integrity decisions — under operating constraints, cost pressure, and regulatory accountability."

— TES Engineering Practice Observation
60%
of Canadian process facilities operating beyond original design life
~40%
of inspection scope in aged facilities targets low-risk equipment
IC-01
Aging Infrastructure Pressure
Assets operating beyond original design life accumulate compounding degradation mechanisms that conventional inspection programmes are not structured to assess holistically.
IC-02
Data Without Integrity Confidence
Large volumes of inspection data do not automatically translate into decision confidence. Data without engineering context often obscures rather than resolves integrity uncertainty.
IC-03
Corrosion & Degradation Complexity
CUI, flow-accelerated corrosion, environmental cracking, and fatigue interact across asset systems. Single-mechanism thinking misses the compounding risk picture.
IC-04
Regulatory & Reliability Exposure
Balancing operational continuity, regulatory compliance, and cost containment without an integrated integrity framework creates exposure that grows silently over time.
IC-05
RBI Programme Degradation
Risk-based inspection programmes lose effectiveness when not maintained with current operating conditions, updated consequence models, and engineering-led reassessment.
IC-06
Turnaround Scope Inefficiency
Poorly structured inspection scopes generate unnecessary work-orders, extend outage windows, and increase cost — without improving integrity assurance.

Engineering Philosophy

Integrity Engineering Requires Integrated Thinking

TES Canada approaches asset integrity as an engineering discipline — not an inspection scheduling exercise. We integrate risk methodology, damage mechanism analysis, and fitness-for-service assessment to deliver decisions that hold up under engineering and regulatory scrutiny.

Our work connects the asset management framework to the physical reality of the equipment — combining field expertise with rigorous engineering analysis to produce integrity decisions that are defensible, practical, and cost-effective.

Our Engineering Approach
Asset Integrity Lifecycle

From Risk Identification to Engineering Decision

TES Canada supports asset owners across the full integrity lifecycle — from initial risk assessment and damage mechanism identification through to fitness-for-service evaluation, inspection programme development, and ongoing integrity management.

Engineering Intelligence

Practical engineering notes on asset integrity, RBI, CUI, and pipeline integrity from TES Canada engineers.

RBI

Understanding API 580 Risk Categories in Aged Process Facilities

Risk-based inspection requires more than a software tool — it demands engineering judgment applied to current degradation reality.

CUI

CUI Risk Mapping: Why Visual Survey Alone Is Insufficient

Corrosion under insulation progresses hidden from view. A structured CUI inspection strategy requires risk-informed prioritization.

FFS

Fitness-for-Service Under API 579: When Continued Operation Is Defensible

API 579 fitness-for-service assessment provides a rigorous framework for evaluating equipment with known flaws or damage.
