Management of change (MOC)

Engineering-led assessment of operational, process, and design changes and their impact on asset integrity, inspection requirements, operating limits, and compliance — covering facilities and pipeline systems, with integration into existing integrity management, RBI, and asset management frameworks.

Changes to equipment, operating conditions, process parameters, pipeline operating pressures, or maintenance practices can introduce new integrity risks or alter existing damage mechanism assumptions. TES Canada provides technical review and integrity impact assessment support within the operator's management of change process, ensuring that proposed changes are evaluated for their potential effect on equipment integrity, remaining life, inspection requirements, and regulatory compliance.

MOC support services include technical impact assessment of proposed operational or design changes, evaluation against current damage mechanism assessments, RBI programme assumptions, and integrity operating windows, assessment of pipeline operating condition changes including pressure, temperature, and product changes under CSA Z662, and identification of any additional inspection, monitoring, or assessment requirements triggered by the change. TES Canada also supports MOC procedure development and implementation for operators establishing or strengthening their change management processes.

This service ensures that integrity considerations are systematically addressed during the change approval process, reducing the risk that modifications inadvertently compromise equipment integrity or invalidate existing inspection plans. TES Canada supports integration of MOC with the operator's broader integrity management, RBI, and asset management frameworks — including alignment with ISO 55000 asset management principles where applicable.
