We map functions, failure modes, effects, causes, and controls, then quantify risk using
RPN = Severity Ă— Occurrence Ă— Detection. High-RPN items receive targeted mitigation plans and
monitoring strategies.

Pipeline Integrity
Risk-Based Integrity Management
REMEK combines RBI, ILI, and corrosion engineering to protect pipeline assets, optimize inspection budgets, and maintain regulatory compliance.
RBI – API 580/581
Risk = POF Ă— COF
We quantify Probability of Failure (POF) and Consequence of Failure (COF) for each asset, then build inspection
plans that focus effort where risk is highest—across vessels, piping, tanks, PRDs, and exchangers.
