The Academy of Joint Integrity understand thatcorrectly assembled bolted flanged connectionsare essential to maintain safe leak freeoperations. As a member of The FlexitallicGroup, we combine our knowledge of sealingtechnology, with our experience of deliveringaccredited training in joint integrity and gasketinstallation to engineers working in industry.

We are now able to offer the JIMS (JointIntegrity Management Services) softwarepackage which allows the user to register the breaking of joints during maintenance or engineering activities.

Dashboard gives an overview of jointsand their status. In addition to thesummary the dashboard provides aninsight into joints awaiting assurancealong with a Reverse Integrity Joint GasketRegister and a Rescue Gasket Register.

DASHBOARD

The system can also be used to capture whocompleted each stage of the joint integritymaintenance processand when.

These registers hold basicdetails about the joint andwhen it passed through variouskey stages in its lifecycle frombeing broken to being re-madeand tested prior to re-enteringservice.

These joints are identified in the field using a plastic tagmade up of multiple parts thatcan be detached and returnedto the person responsible forupdating the register.

JIMS allows the recording of alarge set of metadata includingmetrics relating to how the jointshould be tested post-assemblyalong with expected valuesduring the test where applicable.

The interface also supports‘multi-editing’ of joint data, wheremany joints share similar propertiesor were taken through a specificstage by the same person to makedata input as efficient as possible.

JIMS (Joint Integrity Management Software)Most joints between two pipes, a connectionto a vessel or valve, is typically made with a flange and 4 or more bolts used to providesufficient tension to seal the joint when inservice. As this joint is broken and remadeover its lifetime, an audit trail of what hastaken place is vital to playing a role inassuring process safety for the operator.

The process of breaking these joints duringmaintenance or engineering activities istypically controlled using a “flange breakregister” in accordance with the relevantoperator standards.

Joint IntegrityA joint endures varying degrees of stress over itslifetime, therefore maintenanceis required regularly on thesejoints as they are “made andbroken” over their respectivelifetime due to engineering and maintenance activities,all of the data from which isrecorded in the joint integrityworkflow.

Locked Valve ManagerThe accurate management of valves and their status is critical to the overall safeoperation of a platform.

UpsetsLike action, task and eventmanagement tools, the JIMSUpsets to production moduleallows the user to map out the mechanics of the upset.

HandoversEfficient handovers, be theyshift or trip based, are criticalto operational efficiency andsafety, hence JIMS has built in handovers into the core ofthe system.

Temporary PortableEquipmentTemporary equipment whenused offshore has the potentialto introduce new hazzards oradversely affect existing safetyarrangements and as suchneeds to be measured andmonitored closely.

Asset ManagementOur clients recognise that the use of our JIMSsoftware has deliveredsignificant effectiveness and improvements to their operations.

ThreatsThe threats and vulnerabilitiesmap, allows users gather andstore large amounts of datarelating to status and riskcondition of platforms.

Operational Assurance TasksThe ability to capture actionand task management data is a fundamental component of the JIMS solution, allowingfor the detailed recording of an action which may compriseof a number of tasks.

Asbestos RegisterThe Asbestos Register is used to manage the lifecycle of allasbestos items together with the collection of key data toform an auditorial trial of thechanges.

Operational RiskAssessmentThe adoption of rigorous andstreamlined ORA practices is a key point of focus for processoperators, and especially so at the present time with increasedpressure on efficiency ofoperational cost and safety.

Critical Equipment ManagerThe effective operation ofCritical Equipment is key to thesafe operation of an Upstreamplatform and plays a crucialpart in fulfilling the compliancewith the Safety Case againstwhich production operates.

Root Cause AnalysisWith globally ageing assetswhich are being asked to workharder and longer, ReliabilityEngineering is a crucial area of growth for operators.
