During the lifecycle phases of a Project, starting from the Project Concept, followed by a feasibility study/preliminary Design and then the detail of the asset design, there are a lot of opportunities for influencing the quality of the asset in terms of: construction, functionality, reliability, availability, maintainability, inspectability and cost.
Maintenance Engineering and Asset Integrity Management are sure two approaches useful to evaluate the lifecycle of the asset, during the different phases of a Project, and finalized to optimize the Asset Life.
