An Introduction to Asset Integrity Management

This course covers the management of a special group of assets that degrade slowly but fail catastrophically, like dams, structures, silos, bridges, etc. Although many of the standard asset management principles apply to these assets too, this course addresses specific best practices and key success factors, such as the engineer of record, design integrity reviews during the acquisition phase, configuration control and management of change, application of the correct maintenance tasks, and regular asset integrity inspections (SIMM). As a case study, you will review the reasons for the levee breaks that caused the Katrina disaster in New Orleans.
