What are the advantages of the iMAP Vessels and Piping Management System?
iMAP Software helps iMAP certified users systematically record the type, location, and condition of all pressure vessels, tanks, and piping systems, with special attention to corrosion, fatigue, and mechanical damage. iMAP Software captures plant, area, and location information; plot plans, floor plans, and detailed descriptions; and geotagged photos. iMAP vessel and piping codes, built into the software and dependent on applicable regulations, ensure consistent, unbiased audit results.
iMAP Software produces a comprehensive audit, measuring compliance of vessels, pipes, and tanks against applicable standards, such as Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) specifications for corrosion and erosion. You can also input corporate and facility guidelines, and recommended best practices of material manufacturers. Audits are produced quickly, since industry standards are incorporated into the software.
Many industries require facilities to implement a Quality Assurance (QA) system for piping and vessels. iMAP Software incorporates all the documents and information you need for a comprehensive QA system. The software integrates audit results, lab reports, infrared thermograph images, digital images, video clips, maintenance cycles, engineering drawings, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID), plant isometrics, and other documents as required.
iMAP Software prioritizes vessels and piping maintenance and repair projects using priority codes that take into account risk ratings and environmental impacts, as well as a facility’s location, industry, applicable standards, safety objectives, maintenance policies, and existing condition. Tackling high-priority repairs helps maximize equipment life cycle and increase facility safety. iMAP Software also recommends maintenance approaches that maximize equipment life cycle while minimizing costs and disruption to facilities.
Once the audits are completed, you can create summary and detailed reports that identify maintenance, repair, and replacement priorities, recommend next steps, and project costs. You can easily configure and view reports by budget, priority codes, or equipment location, helping you schedule activities. An estimator tool built into iMAP Software helps with ordering the right amounts of equipment.
