Inspection Services
Golden Rule Inspection’s main focus is to offer its clients the professional inspection quality they deserve. Because we are a company that was forged by the very people we now represent, we are able to relate to our clients in a more effective and profound way.
Our success stems in part from our size, which allows us to focus on and remain responsive to our client’s needs, amassed with our low overhead cost; it gives us, a competitive edge and more affordable pricing.
Over the past few decades, preventative maintenance has taken center stage in the refining industry. Understanding the role Inspection plays and knowing how to combat the potential dangers that are present in plant operations requires commitment, dedication, and experience. GRI can provide that sense of security.
Our commitment to safety begins with the people we surround ourselves with and the training we provide to our employees.
Turnaround Inspection Support
Golden Rule Inspection (GRI) offers experienced inspectors certified to API 510, API 570, API 653, API 936, Certified Welding Inspectors (CWI) and NDE support to assist in the execution of client inspection plans during turnarounds and various equipment outages. GRI is experienced in the assessment of inspection findings and generating technical based recommendations to reduce the likelihood of loss of containment and improve overall reliability of the client’s equipment. During turnarounds, GRI inspectors can aid in management of NDE efforts in combination with data evaluation resulting in overall efficiency for the client.
GRI can supply leadership for pre-turnaround planning based on company milestones for the complexity of the outage as well as compiling files, documents and framework for stewardship and tracking of inspection activities during the event.
GRI is knowledgeable in implementing Risk Based Inspection (RBI) Strategies which has become advantageous to clients to allow for more thorough inspections on higher risks assets. This is particular the case for mitigation tasks requiring equipment outages to execute the tasks. Our inspectors are trained in the level of detail required in post inspection documentation to allow the client to review and update existing RBI and Equipment Strategies to minimize uncertainties and potential unacceptable residual risks. The level of detail of the inspection documentation can also provide the initial framework for clients looking to implement Risk Based Management in the future and aid in cost effective task planning for future turnarounds and equipment outages.
