CB&I Asset Solutions provides operations, maintenance, wells and decommissioning services for onshore and offshore energy assets. In this work, a missed step matters. Protective systems must work the moment they are called on, and every inspection and test needs a record that stands up to scrutiny.
WorkfloPlus has helped CB&I turn that work into clear, step-by-step digital work instructions, and capture proof that each job was done right. What began in offshore maintenance and inspection has since grown into integrity management and critical systems testing.
The challenge
Oil and gas work rarely happens the same way twice. Offshore, weather and limited time on the asset shape every shift. Wherever the next job takes them, CB&I’s people face different equipment, different procedures and different conditions.
What stays constant is the hazard. Flammable hydrocarbons, high pressures and critical equipment are part of almost every job.
The procedures already exist. The challenge is making sure they are followed in the field every time, and that the report of what happened is good enough to rely on.
At a glance
Safety-critical work, done right every time
Each job starts with the precautions that apply to it. Hazards, permits and isolations are confirmed before any work begins. From there, WorkfloPlus guides technicians through each stage of the job, from routine inspection to the testing of safety-critical systems. In hazardous conditions there’s no room for guesswork, so the right step is always in front of the technician, and steps are completed in the right order.
“WorkfloPlus enables clarity for our operations – defined instructions on every job resulting in accurate data, which is crucial in the high-risk environments we operate in. This supports our digital strategy and brings efficiency to our operational teams’ service delivery, adding value not just today but through the creation of a reliable data bank which can be referred to and modelled later.” Steve Johnson, CB&I
Keeping assets dependable
Asset integrity depends on inspection and testing being carried out thoroughly and on schedule. For CB&I’s integrity management work, WorkfloPlus captures readings, photos and results at the equipment, as the work happens. The result is a reliable picture of each asset’s condition, built from evidence rather than memory.
One standard, wherever the work happens
Different assets, clients and settings call for different instructions. WorkfloPlus lets each area of the business work to procedures suited to its tasks, while the way work is carried out, checked and reported stays consistent across the operation. Whatever the job, the standard is the same.
Problems found, problems followed up
Few jobs here involve a single task. Many span multiple pieces of equipment, several stages, or more than one shift. WorkfloPlus brings those tasks together into one job, so everyone involved sees what’s done, what’s in progress and what’s left. When a problem is found, it’s raised there and then, and follow-up maintenance can be planned before a small fault becomes downtime.
Proof of every job
When the job is complete, the report is too. It is built from the steps followed, the readings taken, the photos captured and the sign-offs given. That gives CB&I and its clients a clear report for handover, oversight and client requirements, without rework or chasing paperwork.
Growing with the business
Since the first rollout, licences have grown threefold, and WorkfloPlus now supports work across inspection, maintenance, integrity management and critical systems testing. That steady move into the most critical parts of the operation shows the confidence the business has in it.
“CB&I does some of the most demanding work in the energy sector. Seeing WorkfloPlus grow into its most safety-critical operations shows the trust its people place in it every day.” Keith Tilley, CEO, Intoware
The result is a single, trusted way to guide, check and report hazardous work, giving CB&I and its clients confidence in every job.
