Risk Engineering Position Paper: Management of Temporary Repairs

Installation of temporary repairs in the energy and power industry has been an integral activity that has enabled businesses to manage ongoing plant operation for decades.

Whether to address a fault or maintain equipment approaching end of life, the safe installation of robust temporary repairs is essential to asset integrity for the remainder of the turnaround (TA) cycle (life cycle) or until a permanent repair can be completed. In the insurance industry, temporary repair management is discussed during site surveys and is a topic which, on average, client performance scoring is much lower than other mechanical integrity related topics.

In this paper, Marsh Specialty’s risk engineers review common repair techniques and focus on the management, inspection, audit, and life-cycle analysis of a variety of temporary repair types.

The intention of this document is to raise awareness of industry standards and recommend best practices for management of temporary repairs.
