As maturing assets significantly exceed their original design life, there is a growing requirement to ensure their continued safe and economic operation. Owners/operators must consider the viability of their assets as they move from extended operation to late life stages. Amerapex helps clients determine the remaining life of these critical assets through Asset Life Assessments (ALAs) and how to extend it by developing life extension programs through Asset Life Extension (ALE) studies in compliance with relevant codes and standards.
