AIMS
Asset Integrity Management System
AIMS outlines the ability of an asset to perform its
required function effectively and efficiently while protecting health, safety, and the environment
and the means of ensuring that the people, systems, processes, and resources that deliver
integrity are in place, in use, and will perform when required over the whole life cycle of the
asset.
AIMS is a robust suite of proprietary tools, methodologies, and software designed to optimize
and sustain effective mechanical integrity (MI) programs. Built specifically for the refining,
chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, pipeline, and power industries, AIMS provides safe, cost-
effective solutions for developing, implementing, and continuously improving both risk-based
and traditional time-based MI programs.
The core AIMS process ensures that your facility’s MI software accurately calculates essential
metrics, including minimum thickness, corrosion rates, and remaining life. By evaluating and
adjusting software variables to reflect real-world equipment and site-specific practices, Wicks &
Associates helps your organization enhance data accuracy and inspection consistency. Key
actions include:
Validating software calculations for precise inspection interval predictions.
Applying appropriate inspection strategies to all vessels, piping circuits, tanks, and relief devices.
Resolving any irrelevant Corrosion Monitoring Locations (CMLs) and maintaining only those that provide critical data.
Performing overdue external inspections and assisting with planning for future inspections and evaluations.
Designed to be seamlessly maintained by on-site inspectors, AIMS enhances the efficiency and accuracy of inspection activities, ensuring consistency across all MI program components. Our team, with extensive API and OSHA PSM expertise, specializes in refining and fully implementing MI programs, tailored to your facility’s specific needs and existing software.
