Fitness for Service (FFS) is a comprehensive evaluation process employed in the oil and gas and refining industry to assess the structural integrity and safety of equipment that may have experienced degradation, damage, or other forms of deterioration. This rigorous assessment considers factors such as corrosion, cracks, and material defects, utilizing advanced inspection techniques, engineering calculations, and fitness-for-service codes and standards.

The primary objective is to determine whether a particular component can continue to operate safely, efficiently, and in compliance with industry regulations, or if remedial actions, such as repairs or replacements, are necessary. FFS is particularly critical for managing the integrity of aging assets, as it allows for informed decision making regarding the continued operation of equipment and helps prevent unplanned downtime. By ensuring that assets are fit for service, organizations in the oil and gas and refining industry can enhance safety, optimize maintenance practices, and extend the operational life of their critical infrastructure. Our FFS assessments are performed in compliance with international standards i.e., ASME & DNV (as applicable).
