Asset Integrity

In the late 1990’s, few people were talking about the importance or implications of asset integrity. At the time, we were providing owners with the resources and information needed to keep their operations—and their product—moving safely.

With public scrutiny more intense than ever, Croix Ability Services continues to lead the way, helping our clients anticipate, prevent, manage, and mitigate potentially dangerous and costly conditions associated with their pipelines and facilities. Over the last 15 years, our integrity specialists have become highly engaged in the design process, in addition to maintenance programs. We can help mitigate threats before a project even breaks ground, and consider the entire asset lifecycle.

Acquiring the social license to develop and operate pipeline infrastructure requires careful strategic planning and long-term sustainability thinking. Very few other firms offer a holistic and integrated approach with depth of complementary services to address your unique needs.

Safety Loss Management Systems (SLMS)
Because of recent requirements by both federal and local regulators in North America, pipeline owners and operators are incorporating elements of their existing Integrity Management Programs (IMP) into a more holistic corporate approach – SLMS.  Croix Ability Services has recently led several major pipeline companies in developing, implementing and auditing SLMS at a corporate and/or regional level.  We have the experience and subject matter experts in all elements of the SLMS, to do a thorough review and gap assessment of each, and create a comprehensive summary.

Data Management
Sound data management is at the core of our activities. Oil and gas projects and studies require many different data inputs from project information, field work and engineering efforts, and data providers such as regulators and industry associations. To assist with managing the compilation of this volume of information and create consistent and clear datasets, we offer scalable technology solutions that support project delivery or ongoing operations. Croix Ability Services has developed web-based applications for a variety of oil and gas clients. Our easy to access portals integrate a client’s data and our license free web mapping tools assist in the integrity decision making process. Our information support team is involved in overall project planning, orderly land development, successful facilities construction and progress. In addition to these operational phases, our approach extends into decommissioning.
