CORROSION MANAGER 
          Corrosion challenges can be internal, external or a combination of both and consequently RISCm™ has ‘integrated’ tools to manage them with a high degree of specificity. With the following tools we can easily monitor and control the containment challenges associated with high criticality lines, vessels, process systems and structural plant elements.

CORROSION ANALYSIS & MAPPING 
One of the most difficult challenges in Corrosion Management is getting a 'big picture' overview of where and how severe current corrosion is and where it may become problematic in future. In RISCm we have developed a set of Analysis tools that demonstrate where the rates of corrosion are worst and enable an immediate review of those items. 

Mapping corrosion is another procedure RISCm makes easy. Rather than having a long drawn out process to figure out what your challenges are - almost all plant criteria can be modelled, on one page and one chart. Imagine being able to see 'instantly' how your plant looks based  any combination of Location, Service, System, Tag, RBA, Criticality, Threat, Metallurgy, Process CUI, Corrosion Allowances, Trends and even H2S (and more) and you'll get an understanding of how powerful Corrosion Mapping can be.

WALL THICKNESS MANAGEMENT 
Adjustable settings for Wall Thickness Alarms are used to flag substrates which may become problematic in the future, used to target ‘hot spots’ and cost effectively plan Inspection programmes or maintenance attention. Corrosion rates are graphed and trends can easily be shown and monitored, to be incorporated into KPI views or Threat Models.

CRITICALITY MANAGEMENT 
         The development and management of ‘Qualitative/ Quantitative Criticalities’ is an essential aspect of Corrosion Control, and RISCm™ has four separate modes of Criticality application, each is user selectable and dependant on the style of integrity management in place.

LIBRARY BASED CRITICALITY DEPLOYMENT 
         With this simple to set-up and rapid to deploy technique a library of criticalities is developed. This is often the most appropriate approach where another external tool has been used to develop the Criticalities and RISCm™ then simply applies them.

RELATIVE RISK & CRITICALITY DEVELOPMENT 
         Here each component is classified against a set of pre-defined criteria and the Criticality is automatically recalculated based on changing data. An advantage of this method is that discrete components of the plant can be individually and quickly assessed.

QUALITATIVE CRITICALITY ASSESSMENT 
         The Qualitative approach offers the most accurate picture of the Criticality of your plant, it’s often based on a Knowledge Specification particular to your plant. RISCm™ can easily datamine these assessment results to build useful inspection and maintenance plans and model potential threats. Obviously Internal and External corrosion can be separately managed and all corrosion ‘degradation’ and ‘mitigation’ factors considered.

FULLY FLEXIBLE CRITICALITY DEVELOPMENT 
     In this process ‘any-and-every’ element in the database can be utilised in the development of Criticalities. Using this approach a set of complex rules and current best-practice can be defined to indicate where corrosion challenges may be discovered on current plant – and even future new plant additions, and applied over the life of the facility.

FLANGES, BOLTING & SADDLES 
Many mature facilities are now recognising severe corrosion challenges in the areas of Flange Bolting and Pipe Saddle contact spaces. RISCm™ has specific pages dedicated to managing these corrosion threats and offer timely maintenance advice.

TEMPORARY MECHANICAL/ FABRIC REPAIRS 
         It’s inevitable that there will be some deficiencies in mechanical systems, such as pipes, vessels, structure and other substrates that require rapid and safe rectification, and these repairs can’t always be completed permanently immediately. Hence we have a situation where a temporary repair is necessary. Using this aspect of RISCm™ all ‘Engineering Objective Evidence’ of safe management is held in one place and can be demonstrated instantly.

INSPECTION 
         Inspection Planning and Reporting is an essential aspect of RISCm™, since this is one aspect of feedback that can hugely affect the handling of Corrosion Criteria. There are dedicated pages within RISCm™ for the recording of all inspection findings, with (where appropriate) automated processing of that data to re-fresh the Corrosion Alarms, Criticalities, Threats and Maintenance Schedules.

THREAT MANAGER 
         The Threat Manager supports the user in determining where threats and hazards to the plant may exist. It’s a process of analysis of all data held in RISCm™, and demonstrates which items, areas and process’ may be subject to specific threats. This module is particularly useful to target substrates where containment may be at risk from little-known or un-researched corrosion challenges.

CUI MANAGER 
         The CUI Management Module is dedicated to defining and controlling threats emanating from insulated surfaces. One of the great challenges is in understanding where CUI may emanate. Each plant appears to have a different experience on how and where CUI may appear and where it’s less likely. RISCm™ is designed to minimise this confusion, and with continuous application the system will learn where threats are more or less likely, based on plant specific criteria. The CUI Module can model almost any CUI threat taking account of substrate, process, insulation type, format, location and configuration.

FABRIC MANAGER 
         This is a Project Management tool specifically designed around the needs and requirements of Coating, Passive Fire Protection and Insulation maintenance works, though, unusually, its fully integrated with the Component and Corrosion condition to most accurately predict maintenance and fabric requirements. It is based upon some key drivers:
• Maintain only those surfaces where it is shown to be cost effective. Plan to ensure the best use is made of shared resources such as access equipment, personnel, plant and materials.
• Develop and apply techniques to arrest corrosion on areas of high criticality for sufficient period to allow cost effective maintenance of the local area.
• Consistently compare new and traditional techniques against current methods.
• Provide the Integrity Management team with sufficient and timely notification of potential threats identified by the Fabric Management Scheme.

PROJECT MANAGER 
In Order to make RISCm fully functional there is a Project Management module. Here all work programming, scheduling and planning can be managed. Its fully integrated into the tool-set so can be used for Mechanical, Inspection or Maintenance activities. It's intuitive to use and in many instances is automatically populated from the relevant parts of the system. For many Clients this module will take the place of other project planning 'Gantt' tools, but is designed to share / export or import data from other systems too so can be the single point for planning operations.
