Achieving regulatory compliance while balancing your business needs

Our Philosophy

Mechanical Integrity (MI) refers to the management of critical process equipment to ensure it is designed and installed correctly, as well as operated and maintained properly. Included as one of the 14 elements of the OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) standard, MI takes into account the inspection and testing of the equipment following procedures that are recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices (RAGAGEP). MI programs include assets such as pressure vessels, storage tanks, piping systems, and associated hardware (valves, fittings, etc.), relief devices, and emergency shutdown/control systems, as well as encompassing activities necessary to ensure that equipment/assets are designed, fabricated, installed, operated and maintained in a way that achieves optimal performance without compromising employee safety or environmental protection. HCG Associates has a team of MI experts who have spent decades working on industrial systems across a variety of industries. Our MI team works seamlessly with our other divisions to ensure clients’ systems meet all regulatory compliance standards.
