Manage Pipework Joint Integrity Across Your Assets
Replace spreadsheets and disconnected records with a single, auditable digital system for managing the full lifecycle of every joint and flange — across onshore and offshore assets, from any device.
Spreadsheets can't manage joint integrity at scale
Bolted flange joints are one of the most common sources of unplanned hydrocarbon releases in the energy sector. Yet many operators still manage joint integrity through a mix of spreadsheets, paper records, and disconnected systems — making it difficult to maintain a consistent picture of asset condition, demonstrate compliance, and act quickly when issues arise.
Elisian's joint integrity management software gives operators a single, centralised register of every joint across their assets — with complete lifecycle records, inspection history, torque data, and gasket specifications all in one place. Every activity is attributed, timestamped, and permanently recorded.
Deployed across both onshore and offshore assets in the UK and Netherlands, Elisian has demonstrated that a consistent, scalable approach to joint integrity is achievable across complex, multi-site portfolios.
Everything you need to manage pipework integrity
Elisian's integrity management module covers joint lifecycle management alongside the broader asset integrity capabilities your operation needs.
-
Joint Integrity Management
Central register of all joints and flanges with full lifecycle records — specifications, inspection history, torque data, gasket records, and maintenance activities all in one place.
-
Weeps & Seeps Monitoring
Structured monitoring of leaks and seepages across the asset, providing early indicators of system integrity issues and supporting timely intervention before incidents escalate.
-
Operational Risk Assessment
Streamlined ORA practices for process operators — capturing, reviewing, and approving risk assessments with a complete audit record to support regulatory submissions.
-
Management of Change
Track and manage asset change approvals through a single auditable reference point — prioritising verification and integrity in every decision affecting your assets.
-
Audit Trail & Reporting
Every inspection, maintenance activity, and change is logged with a timestamp and attribution — providing the evidence base needed for regulatory inspections and investigations.
-
Multi-site Portfolio Management
Manage joint integrity consistently across multiple assets and geographies from a single platform — with configurable site-specific workflows and a unified view for management.
From joint register to full lifecycle management
Elisian gives your integrity team a structured, consistent process for managing every joint across the asset — from initial registration through to ongoing maintenance and inspection.
-
Joint Registration
Every joint is registered in the central database with full specifications — location, size, pressure rating, gasket type, bolt data, and torque requirements — creating a single authoritative record for each joint.
-
Inspection & Maintenance Scheduling
Inspection and maintenance tasks are scheduled against each joint based on criticality, history, and regulatory requirements — with automated reminders and escalations to keep programmes on track.
-
Activity Recording
All inspection findings, maintenance activities, and tightening records are captured digitally by named, competency-verified individuals — with supporting photos and documentation attached to the joint record.
-
Reporting & Compliance
Management dashboards provide a real-time view of joint integrity status across the asset. Full audit reports can be generated on demand to support regulatory inspections, investigations, and senior management reviews.
Spirit Energy — UK & Netherlands Portfolio
Spirit Energy operates a diverse portfolio of onshore and offshore assets across the UK and Netherlands. Managing joint integrity consistently across assets in two countries — each with their own regulatory environment — presented a significant challenge when relying on disconnected tools and manual processes.
Elisian's Joint Integrity Management capability was deployed across Spirit Energy's full portfolio, establishing a single consistent view of pipework integrity status for the first time. The same system now supports both UK and Netherlands operations, with site-specific configurations where required.
Read the Full Case StudyCommon questions about joint integrity management software
- What is joint integrity management software?
- Joint integrity management software is a digital system for managing the lifecycle of bolted joints and flanges in industrial pipework. It replaces spreadsheets and paper records with a structured, auditable workflow — tracking inspection status, maintenance history, torque specifications, and gasket records for every joint across an asset.
- Why is joint integrity management important in the energy sector?
- Bolted flange joints are one of the most common sources of hydrocarbon leaks in oil and gas, gas transmission, and chemical processing facilities. Effective joint integrity management reduces the risk of unplanned releases, protects personnel and the environment, and helps operators demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Can Elisian manage joint integrity across multiple sites?
- Yes. Elisian is cloud-native and supports multi-site deployments from a single system. Spirit Energy deployed Elisian's Joint Integrity Management capability across their UK and Netherlands portfolio — covering both onshore and offshore assets — establishing a consistent view of pipework integrity across the entire organisation.
- Does Elisian's joint integrity software support regulatory compliance?
- Yes. Every action is timestamped and attributed, creating a tamper-proof audit trail. The system supports compliance with the Energy Institute's guidance on bolted joint integrity, HSE requirements, and asset owner standards — providing the evidence base required for regulatory inspections and investigations.
- How does joint integrity management integrate with other Elisian modules?
- Joint Integrity Management is part of Elisian's broader Integrity Management module, which also includes Weeps & Seeps Monitoring, Operational Risk Assessment, and Management of Change. It can also be deployed alongside Permit to Work, Handovers & Events, and other Elisian capabilities — as demonstrated in the Wood CATS deployment.
