The Challenge

Why traditional fabric maintenance falls short

  • Visual walkdowns miss blind spots and elevated areas
  • Blanket coating scopes drive unnecessary access and cost
  • Inspection data is fragmented across drawings, reports, and spreadsheets
  • Decisions are difficult to defend months or years later

Integrity teams need risk-based prioritisation with traceable evidence, not best guesses.

The AVA Approach

Evidence-led integrity, built around the asset

AVA establishes a live visual reference of the asset and uses it to:

  • Identify where degradation is actually occurring
  • Focus inspection effort only where risk is real
  • Quantify work scopes before access is installed
  • Maintain a complete audit trail from finding to close-out

This shifts integrity from reactive and access-heavy to targeted and defensible.

Instructions
To make this component work with other components you must:
  1. Add a background color to the section div above ↑ this Timeline section. This is will help hide the progress line overflow.
  2. Add z-index-2 class to the section div above ↑ this Timeline section. This will ensure the oveflowing progress line from the Timeline section below ↓ is hidden underneath it.

The AVA Integrity Workflow

From detection to verified close-out

Detect

AVA identifies early signs of fabric degradation using visual evidence.

  • Detect coating degradation, blistering, corrosion, and scabs from imagery
  • Quantify affected surface area and assign severity
  • Visualise condition through colour-coded condition maps
  • Every finding is geo-located, tagged, and linked to original evidence

Results:

Early visibility of real degradation,  including areas normally missed during walkdowns.

Verify

AVA ensures inspections are focused, efficient, and meaningful.

  • Direct UT and RT only to the highest-risk locations
  • Feed inspection results back into the asset context
  • Confirm remaining thickness, corrosion rate, and remaining life
  • Move from visual indication to verified condition

Results:

Reduced inspection scope with higher confidence and traceability.

Act

AVA turns verified findings into executable work.

  • Group findings into prioritised work packs
  • Quantify preparation, coating, and repair scopes
  • Attach inspection evidence and context
  • Send work directly into execution workflows

Results:

Clear, defensible work scopes before scaffolding or access is installed.

Close the Loop

Integrity doesn’t stop at identification

AVA manages the full integrity lifecycle:

  • Detection - assessment - execution - verification
  • Updates synchronised with APM, RBI, CMMS, SAP, or Maximo
  • Complete record of what was found, what was done, and why

Every decision, action, and close-out is recorded with full proof.

Results:

Audit-ready integrity - defensible long after the work is complete.

Why It Matters

Measured outcomes, not theoretical benefits
  • Target real risk instead of blanket coating scopes
  • Reduce unnecessary scaffolding, rope access, and call-outs
  • Improve planning accuracy and execution efficiency
  • Extend coating life and defer unnecessary work
  • Reduce avoidable carbon and access-related exposure
