Aker BP – Alvheim – inspection and maintenance of corrosion under insulation and equipment structures

The audit was conducted from 19 to 31 March 2025.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to follow up that Aker BP’s management of inspection and maintenance in respect of corrosion under insulation (CUI), equipment structures and their fixtures, complies with the authorities’ and the company’s own requirements.

Result

No non-conformities were identified during the audit, but we observed two factors that we have chosen to categorise as improvement points. These concerned:

• Deficiencies in maintenance programme for railings and gangways
• Deficiencies in maintenance programme for pipe insulation

What happens now?

We have asked Aker BP to give us its assessment of the improvement points observed by 25 May 2025.
