Conference on Asset Integrity Management, Inspection & NDT in Delhi India

Asset Integrity Management (AIM), Corrosion Control and Advanced Inspection & Nondestructive Testing are vital in managing Industrial assets effectively to gain maximum value, profitability and returns while ensuring smooth operation of the plant without any failures, leaks, accident’s, unplanned shut downs, maintaining Integrity, Safety & Reliability of the Assets.

The understanding of Asset Management (AM) incorporates Design, Maintenance, Inspection,
Process, Operations and Management concepts, since all these disciplines impact the integrity of
infrastructure and equipment. The concepts of AIM (i.e. design, technical and operation integrity)
is moving along with the approaches to Operational Excellence, Corrosion Control & Monitoring,
Advanced Inspection & NDT techniques, Risk Based Inspection & Maintenance, Failure Mode Effect
and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), and Maintenance Planning of static process equipment, rotating
equipment, mitigating the challenges caused by human factors, effective project management
strategies and etc.

Around the globe, asset owners are facing major challenges to maintain aging assets and to ensure
their reliability. Therefore, Advanced Inspection & Nondestructive Testing plays an essential role to
ensure reliable operation and to meet the increasing world energy & growth demands.

To attain these major challenges, two concurrent events are planned to conduct on “Asset Integrity Management & Corrosion Control (AIM 2018)” and Advanced Techniques & Practices of “Inspection, NDT & Monitoring” (INM 2018) on 10-11 August 2018 in Hotel Holiday Inn, Mayur Vihar, New Delhi. The AIM 2018 & INM 2018 are the only Technical Conference in India, designed to address the main challenges in asset management and to help you effectively manage your equipment so that you achieve long term plant reliability, efficiency, safety and profitability.
The conference provides an effective platform for Asset Integrity, Inspection & NDE, Corrosion, Operation & Maintenance professionals from all over the world to interact, share and exchange
their experiences. We welcome you all to be an integral part of these initiative.

Call for Abstracts:

Technical Committee of AIM and INM invites authors to submit technical papers on specified technical topics for Oral Presentation or Poster Paper during conference. Authors are requested to submit abstracts not exceeding 300 words and as per the guidelines. Please send your abstract to:
contact@assetintegritymanagement.org; contact@inspectionandndt.com
