Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) for Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs) in Canada
Smarter, Safer, and More Cost-Effective PSV Management
At TES Canada, we are pioneering Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) for Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs), offering a smarter alternative to traditional time-based inspections. Our data-driven approach optimizes inspection intervals, reducing unnecessary costs while ensuring compliance with Canadian safety regulations.
Why Traditional PSV Inspections Are No Longer Enough
Conventional PSV inspections follow fixed intervals, often leading to unnecessary shutdowns, excessive maintenance costs, and inefficient resource allocation. With RBI, we assess each PSV based on actual risk levels, ensuring that high-risk valves receive priority while low-risk ones can safely extend their inspection intervals.
How Our RBI Approach Works
Our methodology is built on API 581 guidelines and aligns with CSA B51 and provincial regulatory bodies (ABSA, TSASK, TSSA, etc.).
🔹 Data-Driven Risk Assessment: We analyze historical PSV performance, service conditions, and failure probabilities.
🔹 Probability & Consequence of Failure Analysis: We categorize valves based on risk levels, ensuring the most critical assets receive priority inspections.
🔹 Optimized Inspection Scheduling: We extend the inspection intervals of low-risk PSVs while maintaining safety compliance.
🔹 Regulatory Compliance Assurance: We work with Canadian regulatory authorities to ensure all inspections meet local and national standards.
Key Benefits of RBI for PSVs
