RCP engineers can provide defect analysis and repair recommendations which include characterization of the defect and root cause analysis based on the operators or third-party measurements of the defect. RCP then presents specific repair recommendations based on Industry Standards and operator specific procedures. Integrity management regulations also require that a lesson learned process be implemented and similar defects that could exist in non-covered segments be analyzed and repaired as well. As Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) is deployed with the help of different analysis techniques, prioritizing root causes, identification and development of solutions for root causes, and remediation recommendations become the basis for the development of a Remedial Work Plan (RWP) to repair defects, associate appropriate P&M measures and prevent recurrence.
