Abstract:
This work aims to present the process of reviewing the strategy for maintaining the structural integrity of the Port of Tubarão's assets, in order to increase the reliability of the assets, reduce costs and risks.
This review begins with the redistribution of inspection plans into different inspection levels, where in some plans there is a greater commitment of resources and equipment downtime, while in other inspections the evolution of the previously mapped condition is monitored in a more detailed way. quickly and less expensively. It also includes replanning the inspection, specifying the resources necessary for its execution, the points that typically require greater prior cleaning, as well as indicating to the inspector the points with the greatest probability of cracks appearing in the structure of each asset based on finite element studies. The inclusion of such inspections in the multi-annual map of interventions is also carried out, in addition to the generation of support orders in the removal of protection and opening of access, thus bringing better conditions for carrying out inspections. The entire plan construction process is fed back by field monitoring of its execution.
In this way, the process of reviewing the structural integrity maintenance strategy has been bringing direct and indirect gains to the maintenance and operation of the Port of Tubarão, increasing the reliability of assets and reducing the costs and risks involved in the operation.
