 The Heart of our Client-Centred approach is the 'Strategic Corrosion Management Concept' of Cost Effective Corrosion & Fabric Maintenance Management: minimising the costs of mitigating corrosion and fabric maintenance. Our ultimate aim is to determine:
where can maintenance be safely ‘Reduced – Deferred – or Eliminated’ altogether?
This Concept demands all areas of plant control are involved in Identifying, Minimising, Controlling and Mitigating Corrosion, and that a holistic strategy be developed to ensure objective and transparent evidence of corrosion management control can be demonstrated. The main functions of Design, Maintenance, Production and Integrity must all be targeting similar high level goals in order to achieve the SCM Concepts, and by doing so huge benefits in terms of plant up-time, production and profitability can be realised in very short time frames. The graphic below gives a broad indication of the types of integration that we have discovered to be beneficial in developing Strategic Control systems. 
You could use our tools and techniques to:
To gain maximum value from any maintenance work the degree of corrosion, coating degradation and insulation damage should be reflected in the philosophy and techniques you apply to your scopes.
Tight control of your maintenance workscope is essential to cost effectiveness. Recognising trends in plant condition and work completions allows precise targeting of expenditure, minimising waste.
Getting these elements right is the key issue in the life expectancy of your plant. SCM have all of the tools necessary to draw comparisons ‘one against another’ selecting the least expensive combination.
Objective evidence of work completed, its quality and value is essential if you are to use historical data to fine tune and improve future performance. The SCM Concept uses ‘track record’.
The primary aim of plant maintenance is to prevent failures. The SCM Concept helps to define the risk of failure and manages the maintenance programme to maximise plant up-time.
By maintaining only those surfaces ‘potentially at risk’ we can create that fine balance between the benefits of a plant in perfect condition and the cost advantages of minimal plant maintenance.
