iPlan software

Inspection and maintenance planning for deteriorating engineering systems and structures

iPlan benefits:

• iPlan facilitates the optimization of the expensive inspection and maintenance efforts for the structural parts of the installation using state-of-the-art models.
  
• No specialist knowledge on structural reliability analysis and fracture mechanics is required.
  
• iPlan allows to ensure an acceptable and uniform level of reliability throughout the installations.
  
• iPlan is based on Excel and thus includes all its functionalities.

Risk-based inspection planning (RBI) procedures allow identifying cost optimal inspection strategies for deteriorating structures which comply with given risk acceptance criteria. By combining the Bayesian decision analysis with structural reliability analysis, RBI procedures for structures utilize probabilistic state-of-the-art models of the deterioration processes and the inspection performances to determine optimal inspection and maintenenance strategies.

To efficiently include risk-based inspecion planning into the daily asset integrity management, the software iPlan has been developped. With iPlan, the determination of risk-based inspection plans is straightforward and requires no specialist knowledge on structural reliability. Using iPlan, the determination of inspection plans for an entire structure is highly efficient and can be performed within hours.
