PLANTSERV® Materials Engineering Services
Get ahead of degradation from the inside but cost efficient. Benefit from our specific knowledge as a licensor of the process and EPC experience.
Assess material condition and reduce operational risk with targeted engineering services
Leverage our licensed process knowledge and EPC experience to your advantage and unlock the potential of our world-class materials engineering services, featuring cutting-edge technology to bring you cost efficiencies. Our risk-based inspection (RBI), corrosion under insulation (CUI), and lifetime evaluations are designed to give you detailed, inside-out insights.
Risk-based Inspection (RBI)
Risk-Based Inspection helps reduce maintenance costs by identifying degradation mechanisms and prioritizing inspections where they matter most.
Using Linde’s process and materials expertise, we tailor inspection and maintenance programs that avoid unnecessary activities, reduce unplanned downtime and focus resources on high-risk areas.
RBI also supports informed decision-making during front-end engineering and helps integrate material performance data into long-term maintenance planning.
Corrosion under Insulation (CUI)
Corrosion under insulation is a leading cause of hidden failures in chemical and process plants. Our CUI services combine risk analysis with material selection, insulation design, coatings and passive fire protection to assess and mitigate corrosion risks.
We also support QA/QC during installation and specify appropriate inspection methods, so remedial actions can be taken early and with confidence.
Lifetime Evaluations
Our Lifetime Evaluation uses 3D creep models and historical operating data to assess remaining service life for equipment exposed to high temperatures and stresses.
This enables safer operation beyond original design life and informed planning of inspection, repair or replacement activities. Accurate lifetime insight helps avoid unplanned shutdowns and supports regulatory and safety requirements.
Service Modules results
Based on the results of the three PLANTSERV® Materials Engineering service modules – Risk-Based Inspection, Corrosion Under Insulation assessment and Lifetime Evaluation – we provide a structured overview of degradation mechanisms and prioritized actions.
The results support inspection planning, maintenance decisions and targeted remedial measures to ensure asset integrity and long-term reliability.
