International Design Engineering And Services Ltd (I.D.E.A.S) to boost its asset
integrity management services.
Glasgow, Scotland-based I.D.E.A.S. has developed software and technology that

and life extension.
"This technology strengthens our offering of asset integrity management
services," said Tore Sjursen, head of Aker Solutions' maintenance and
modifications business.
"It can be used to predict the lifetime of an installation in a more effective
manner. It also helps us plan more targeted maintenance and inspection
activities, and increases the quality and precision of our services," said
Sjursen.
Aker Solutions' asset integrity management services include maintenance
engineering, integrity management and advanced inspection and monitoring
services, throughout the lifetime for all parts of an onshore or offshore
installation. These services help clients reduce risk and increase utilisation
