| Summary: | This research presents an innovative solution to optimise maintenance planning and integrity in offshore facilities, specifically regarding corrosion management. The study introduces a prototype for maintenance planning on offshore oil platforms, developed through the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology. Using a 3D CAD/CAE model, the prototype integrates machine learning models to predict corrosion progression, essential for effective maintenance strategies. Key components include damage assessment, regulatory compliance, asset criticality, and resource optimisation, collectively enabling precise and efficient anti-corrosion plans. Case studies on oil and gas platforms validate the practical application of this methodology, demonstrating reduced costs, lower risks associated with corrosion, and enhanced planning efficiency. Additionally, the research opens pathways for future advancements, such as integrating IoT technologies for real-time data collection and applying deep learning models to improve predictive accuracy. These potential extensions aim to evolve the system into a more adaptable and powerful tool for industrial maintenance, with applicability beyond offshore to other environments, including onshore facilities. |
