Asset Integrity Digital Twin for Singapore
Atlantis Digital Twin puts measured inspection data, API 581 risk-based inspection scoring and API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 fitness-for-service on a single live 3D model of the asset, for operators and integrity contractors working in Singapore.
The asset base this is built for
The Jurong Island process cluster — ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron Oronite, Lanxess, Evonik and the Singapore Refining Company — plus Sembcorp and Keppel marine and offshore yards, Tuas port and industrial development, and the third-party inspection and calibration laboratory cluster serving them.
The regulatory and code environment
Workplace Safety and Health Act obligations and BCA requirements shape construction and industrial work, with ASME Section V, VIII and IX, ASME B31.1 and B31.3, AWS D1.1, API 510/570/653 and API 1104 governing the technical inspection. ISO 17020 and ISO 17025 accreditation via SAC is effectively table stakes for third-party inspection bodies.
Why it matters here specifically
Singapore is documentation-heavy: the quality record — welder qualifications, NDT results per joint, material traceability by heat number and ITP hold-point evidence — is what actually gets audited by consultants and clients. Structured quality data beats attached PDFs decisively here.
What the twin does
- Binds every thickness reading and indication to a CML or TML with persistent identity, so a reading taken years apart is genuinely comparable.
- Assigns damage mechanisms per API RP 571 against actual process service — sulfidation, naphthenic acid corrosion, HTHA per API 941, wet H2S cracking, chloride SCC, CUI, MIC, erosion-corrosion — so inspection targets the mechanism that is credible for that circuit.
- Computes RBI under API 580/581 from measured corrosion rates rather than defaults, which changes which equipment is genuinely flagged.
- Runs API 579 Level 1 and Level 2 assessments — Part 4 general metal loss, Part 5 local metal loss, Part 9 crack-like flaws — against the stored thickness grid, rendering pass/fail zones spatially.
- Retains full provenance on every record: procedure revision, inspector certification state and instrument calibration state at the time of test.
- Integrates with SAP PM, Oracle eAM, IBM Maximo, ServiceNow, AVEVA PI and OSIsoft historians, with documented REST API and full bulk export.
Regional asset detail
- Singapore — Singapore's Jurong Island hosts one of the world's most highly integrated petrochemical complexes, with ExxonMobil, Shell, and Sembcorp operating cracker units, reformers, and polymer plants within a few square kilometres. Space constraints and continuous operation schedules make risk-based inspection planning through digital twins essential for managing inspection windows without compromising production.
- Jurong Island — Jurong Island is Singapore's purpose-built energy and chemicals hub, home to ExxonMobil's integrated refining and petrochemical complex, Shell's Pulau Bukom refinery, Singapore Refining Company, Chevron Oronite, Sumitomo Chemical, and dozens of specialty chemical producers connected by shared pipeline racks and the Jurong Rock Caverns underground liquid hydrocarbon storage facility. The island's density of cracking units, cryogenic storage, and high-pressure reactors — many operating at or beyond original design life — makes corrosion monitoring, RBI, and API 510/570/653 compliance a constant operational priority under National Environment Agency (NEA) and Energy Market Authority oversight.

Frequently asked questions
What does an asset integrity digital twin change for operators in Singapore?
It moves the integrity case from a spreadsheet snapshot to a live model. Every UT, PAUT, TOFD, RT, MT, PT and ET reading binds to a corrosion monitoring location with a persistent identity, so corrosion rates come from a real time series rather than an assumed default. RBI under API 580/581 then ranks on measured condition, and API 579 fitness-for-service runs against the stored thickness grid. Singapore is documentation-heavy: the quality record — welder qualifications, NDT results per joint, material traceability by heat number and ITP hold-point evidence — is what actually gets audited by consultants and clients. Structured quality data beats attached PDFs decisively here.
Which codes and regulators does it have to satisfy in Singapore?
Workplace Safety and Health Act obligations and BCA requirements shape construction and industrial work, with ASME Section V, VIII and IX, ASME B31.1 and B31.3, AWS D1.1, API 510/570/653 and API 1104 governing the technical inspection. ISO 17020 and ISO 17025 accreditation via SAC is effectively table stakes for third-party inspection bodies. Every record carries provenance — which procedure revision was in force, which inspector performed the work and what their certification state was at that moment, and whether the instrument was in calibration — which is the bundle a regulator, insurer or client audit actually asks for.
Do we need to laser-scan the plant first?
No. Geometry can come from LiDAR or photogrammetry capture, drone survey, or from existing BIM, CAD, isometrics and P&IDs. Many first deployments start from isometrics and add scan-derived geometry later, because reconciling the CML register — not capturing geometry — is the task that actually gates the timeline.
How long until the first unit is live?
Ten to fourteen weeks is typical: two to three weeks of geometry capture or import, three to four weeks reconciling the CML register and importing historical thickness data, two to three weeks assigning damage mechanisms per API RP 571, then RBI and FFS configuration and integrity-team training. Subsequent units are considerably faster once the data model and conventions are set.
