Challenges
Implementation of awareness
feedback of observed defects
maintenance budget
Information and scoping and scheduling of the inspection programs for equipment
and piping, including the increased CUI focus for the inspections
Supervisors and inspectors
Sufficient inspectors with CUI focus
Sufficient qualified supervisors for painting / insulation
Sufficient scaffolding supervisors
CUI guidelines require upgrade of local standards implementation
