recommending immediate actions.
Following in-line inspection of a pipeline, the objective of a
Fitness-For-Purpose (FFP) Assessment is to quickly assess
the results of the inspection and to identify and prioritize
any features which may be an immediate threat to the
integrity of the pipeline for remedial action.
Experienced integrity engineers choose the most
appropriate assessment code
Most appropriate and not just most conservative approach
to assess features
Provides exact tasks to plan repair and maintenance
Resulting actions reduce the immediate risk to the pipeline

Key objectives
The aim of the FFP Assessment is to assess the features
reported by the inspection in terms of their immediate
integrity. The FFP Assessment will provide a written report

on the pipeline condition and advise on and justify the need

for a further detailed FFP and Future Integrity Planning and/
or other studies to ensure the future integrity of the pipeline.
