Written by Jeff Naylor | Jul 16, 2026 5:17:17 AM

Thank you to those that joined us for the Future-Ready Corrosion Management: Integrating RBI, IIoT, and Sustainability session we held with Giles Harrison and team from TECHT.

 

A Special Thank You​​

A big thank you to today’s presenters Giles Harrison and team, for sparking the discussion on the future of corrosion management, asset integrity, and sustainable reliability practices within organisations.

Event Recap​​

We explored how organisations can move beyond traditional inspection-based corrosion management by integrating Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), digital technologies, and sustainability principles into a single, future-focused framework.

Key points discussed:

  • Why corrosion management must evolve beyond periodic inspections.
  • How RBI, IIoT and sustainability can be integrated to improve asset reliability and performance.
  • Turning corrosion data into actionable maintenance and asset management decisions.
  • Using risk-based approaches to prioritise maintenance resources and investments.
  • Extending asset life while reducing total lifecycle costs.
  • Emerging technologies and practical industry applications.

A key point to remember:

Applying the correct approach can help organisations improve reliability, optimise maintenance resources, and prepare for the future of asset management.
