Engineering in Integrity
Asset Design and Integrity
What Engineering owns here
Element 6 is the principal home of technical integrity and consequently Engineering's deepest footprint in the management system. This is where the company commits to how assets will be designed, built, modified and maintained to remain fit-for-purpose across their full lifecycle.

Why these belong here
"This is where the system holds, or doesn't. If it isn't designed for integrity, the rest of the management system is just paper around the gap."
