The inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) of offshore structures requires complex analysis and decision making by experienced engineers. The move to probabilistic inspection planning introduces another level of complexity in the amount of information that has to be handled. This paper describes the development of an inspection and maintenance decision support system for fixed offshore platforms which uses a knowledge based system for integrating reliability based analysis with other practical constraints.
