Mechanical Integrity

The mechanical integrity (MI) element of the PSM Standard is often thought of as vague and difficult to implement in an accurate, consistent, and cost effective manner. Through years of industry experience and software expertise, Provenance has developed workflows and project execution techniques which guarantee the best value at the highest level of quality.

Be it maintenance activities for existing systems or new construction and first time implementations, Provenance will ensure OSHA compliance while focusing on safety, quality and cost savings to the client. Our services include:

  • Audit and gap analysis
  • Written procedure development
  • Automated and scheduled reporting
  • Drawings generation and verification (Inspection isometrics, equipment drawings)
  • Circuitization
  • TML placement
  • On-stream inspections
  • Corrosion monitoring software stewardship
  • Personnel training

Management of Change (MOC)

One of the most critical aspects of a successful PSM system is managing change. Without a robust MOC process, all systems are susceptible to becoming outdated, inaccurate, and untrustworthy. Our extensive experience in auditing, implementing and stewarding MOC processes gives Provenance exceptional insight to why MOC processes so frequently are not accepted, not followed, and ultimately fail. More importantly, we bring to bear proven solutions to unravel exiting MOC problems and leave your facility with a fully implemented process accepted by all MOC stakeholders. Our services include:

  • MOC audits and reviews
  • MOC system implementation
  • MOC system stewardship
  • Pre-startup safety reviews (PSSR) facilitation
  • Personnel training

Document Control and Drawing Services

To their advantage, many facilities have migrated legacy hardcopy drawings to electronic media. However, to fully benefit from electronic documentation these records need to be consistent, properly formatted, and attributed. As the adage goes, a picture tells a thousand words; however, in today's world of information management the pictures, or drawings, must be intelligent, indexed, and accessible to the facilities personnel otherwise you may find these pictures 'blur' a thousand words. Provenance's extensive experience with AutoCAD, MicroStation, scanning technology, and document management systems leverages your existing documentation and presents it in ways that even the most novice computer user can quickly and easily find what they need. Our services include:

  • Document control system implementation
  • Project and MOC documentation updates
  • Hardcopy drawing migration to intelligent electronic files
  • AutoCAD menu generation
  • AutoCAD and document control system training

Process Safety Information (PSI)

At the core of any successful petrochemical process or system is correct and manageable process safety information. Too frequently, systems and processes are implemented without adequate review and updating of the data and documents that feed these systems and processes. Additionally, ongoing safety, hazard, and operability reviews of each facility are dependent on the accuracy of the information utilized during the evaluation. One small error on a P&ID can change the safety analysis by orders of magnitude. Additionally, the data that is required for each piece of PSI to be complete mandates the information must appear in multiple locations and used by multiple applications. Provenance has verified methods to ensure all data found in multiple systems and documents is consistent and maintainable. Our services include:

  • Process Safety Information (PSI) audits and reviews
  • Drawing (P&IDs, PFDs, Plot plans, Instrument loops, etc) verification, generation, and updates
  • Data consistency checks
  • Equipment file reconciliation and consolidation
