An equipment integrity management system (IMS) requires focused effort from many disciplines to ensure that it is fully integrated and sustainable. The systems necessary to manage inventory, schedule inspections and capture inspection data are key elements of the IMS.
Establishing an equipment integrity management system (IMS) requires focused effort from many disciplines in an organization to ensure that it is fully integrated and sustainable. Integrity Management System manuals have been developed as the guiding documents for equipment integrity programs. The systems necessary to manage inventory, schedule inspections and capture inspection data are key elements of the IMS. Inspection planning should be developed during the design process and capture engineering decisions and risk based life cycle decisions. Business processes and procedures are critical to ensure that inspection and corrosion monitoring tasks are undertaken in an effective manner and documented to maintain control of equipment condition. The program goals are best achieved through maintaining simplicity and ensuring alignment with engineering and maintenance planning processes. Industry standards exist that will guide the IMS development and legislation that dictates minimum requirements to ensure that static process equipment and pipeline systems are managed in a safe and diligent manner.
Key words: equipment integrity management system, pressure equipment, IMS, SAGD
To facilitate decision making when stress corrosion cracks are found during excavations or in-line inspections of pipelines, a hierarchy of crack-severity rankings has been developed, based upon predicted failure pressure as calculated from the crack sizes.

Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe pipeline sections projected to exhibit wire breaks were detected - and one not so - were excavated, removed, inspected, and dissected. Corrosion had initiated upon the inner surface of shorting straps and spread to the prestressing wires. A mechanism for this corrosion is presented and the findings discussed.
