Large recovery estimates attract attention, but a board cannot approve a responsible program from a single aggregate number. The first decision package must explain what remains in the plant, what is unavailable or degraded, what must be restored, and how the estimate was assembled.
From inspection to baseline
An auditable damage map begins with asset and system identity. It connects field condition, drawings, inspection records, vendor data, obsolescence, spare-parts status, operational constraints, and the applicable engineering requirements. Every finding needs a source, date, responsible party, and review state.
The result is not a decorative digital twin. It is a governed technical baseline that supports scope definition, packaging, sequencing, cost ranges, and risk decisions.
The questions before capital
- What equipment and infrastructure are physically present?
- Which records can be trusted and which require verification?
- What is required for safe and reliable service?
- What constraints affect procurement, utilities, construction, and commissioning?
- What uncertainty remains in the estimate?
iPDM Pro is designed to federate that evidence and make the decision chain visible. The professional remains responsible for the engineering judgment; the platform preserves the proof behind it.
