Integrity & Fabric Maintenance

Target real risk. Prove condition. Close with confidence.

AVA transforms integrity and fabric maintenance by grounding decisions in visual evidence, targeted inspection, and governed execution.

Early corrosion and coating breakdown are identified from remote visuals. UT and RT are focused only where risk is highest. Every finding, decision, and action is tracked,  from detection through to verified close-out in your systems of record.

Integrity decisions backed by evidence, not assumption.

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

How It Fits The AVA Platform
