Technical policy relating to structural degradation and deterioration

New technical policy for the offshore industry about damage and deterioration to offshore installations.

Damage and deterioration can be the result of inadequate design and construction, operational accidents, ageing processes or a combination.  The threat is that the deterioration, from whatever cause, impairs structural integrity to a level whereby safety of the installation is threatened.
