Plant modifications: Maintain your mechanical integrity

Abstract

Upon initial review of the proposed subject, Plant Modifications and Mechanical Integrity, there is a bit of a disappointment, a lot of the subject matter can easily be placed under the heading “Common Sense.” However, after reviewing successes and failures in this area one finds that common sense may not be as common as one would like. While the successes are much more frequent than the failures, the failures tend to overwhelm the impact of the successes.
