Mechanical Integrity Data and Information Services
Better Data. Better Decisions. Stronger Asset Integrity.
Mechanical Integrity programs are only as reliable as the information behind them.
Accurate, accessible, and well-structured equipment information allows engineering, inspection, maintenance, reliability, and operations personnel to make informed integrity decisions.
Smith & Burgess improves the systems, data structures, and work processes used to manage inspection, maintenance, testing, and equipment integrity information throughout the asset lifecycle.
Integrated Mechanical Integrity Information Management
Engineering, inspection, maintenance, and operations need access to the same reliable equipment information.
We establish a connected information environment that supports engineering, inspection, maintenance, reliability, and operations while ensuring equipment information remains accurate, traceable, and readily available.
Equipment Hierarchy and Asset Data Development
Reliable information starts with a structure that reflects how equipment is operated, inspected, and maintained.
Develop equipment hierarchies and data structures that accurately connect equipment, piping circuits, components, inspection locations, and engineering records.
- Functional locations
- Equipment naming and numbering standards
- Parent-child relationships
- Piping circuits and corrosion loops
- Criticality classifications
- CMMS and IDMS alignment
Mechanical Integrity Workflows
Data creates value when it moves with the work.
Develop integrated workflows connecting inspection planning, engineering evaluations, maintenance work orders, repairs, Risk-Based Inspection updates, and record retention.
- Inspection finding review and approval
- Engineering evaluation and disposition
- Repair recommendation tracking
- Maintenance work-order initiation
- Equipment return-to-service documentation
Data Migration and Quality Improvement
Migrating inaccurate data only transfers the problem.
Review, validate, standardize, and migrate Mechanical Integrity information from legacy systems while improving data quality.
- Duplicate and missing data identification
- Equipment record validation
- Inspection history reconciliation
- Drawing and document linkage
- Data governance development
Inspection Data Management Systems (IDMS)
Inspection Data Management Systems (IDMS) provide the engineering foundation for managing inspection programs, equipment condition, corrosion monitoring, damage mechanisms, and integrity assessments. Smith & Burgess develops and optimizes IDMS solutions that support API inspection programs and risk-based asset management.
- Inspection data migration and validation
- Inspection plan configuration
- Condition Monitoring Location (CML) identification and optimization
- Corrosion-rate and remaining-life management
- Damage mechanism assignments
- Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) integration
- Fitness-for-Service (FFS) evaluation records
- Inspection reporting and dashboards
Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)
A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) manages maintenance activities throughout the asset lifecycle. Smith & Burgess helps clients configure CMMS platforms to support preventive maintenance, work execution, equipment reliability, and support regulatory compliance.
- CMMS requirements development and implementation support
- Equipment hierarchy and asset register development
- Preventive maintenance program configuration
- Work order workflow optimization
- Maintenance planning and scheduling integration
- Equipment criticality alignment
- Reporting and performance dashboards
- User training and governance
CMMS–IDMS Integration and Data Sharing
Inspection and maintenance systems are most effective when they exchange information reliably and efficiently.
Smith & Burgess designs and implements bidirectional data sharing between IDMS and CMMS platforms so inspection findings, engineering evaluations, maintenance activities, equipment status, and asset information remain synchronized throughout the Mechanical Integrity lifecycle. Our integration approach improves information accuracy, eliminates duplicate data entry, supports timely maintenance execution, and provides complete traceability from inspection findings through corrective actions.
Reporting, Metrics, and Dashboards
Develop dashboards supporting inspection compliance, maintenance performance, corrosion trends, remaining-life alerts, high-risk equipment, repair backlog, and Mechanical Integrity KPIs.
