Eliminated consequential errors and near-misses
ILI/PIGGING OPERATIONS
After a client experienced successive near-miss events during Pigging operations, we were challenged to determine the root causes and implement corrective actions prior to the next scheduled run, which was a mere 10 weeks away.
Our approach
We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the pigging process using advanced monitoring and data analysis techniques. Our team established new safety protocols, implemented human reliability tools, developed user-friendly Standard Operating Procedures, and provided thorough training for the staff and contractors.
