The Journey: Transforming Reliability Outcomes Through Technology and Maintenance Practices
Lessons Learned, Maintenance
In an era of rapid technological advancement, achieving positive reliability outcomes requires a strategic blend of innovation and foundational maintenance practices. This presentation explores how organizations can harness emerging technologies to enhance awareness and enable early anomaly detection. By integrating data-driven insights with proven maintenance strategies, companies can improve operational reliability and efficiency. Through an open discussion, we will explore the real-world challenges and opportunities that arise when merging traditional maintenance with cutting-edge technology.
The session is designed as an introductory-level discussion that highlights the value of combining traditional hands-on maintenance practices with modern monitoring tools to support a more comprehensive and reliable approach to decision-making. Together we aim to uncover practical strategies for building a resilient, future-ready maintenance culture. Participants will be encouraged to share experiences and insights on navigating common pitfalls—such as over-reliance on digital tools, integration complexities, and maintaining a balance between automation and human expertise.

Contractor Panel: Attracting and Keeping Young Engineers in Hard Crafts — Pt. 1
Maintenance
Facilitator:
Andy Woods, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP
Speakers:
Jim Griffin, San Jacinto College
Ferril Onyett, BrandSafway
Brian Novicki, Valero Energy Corporation
Will the energy industry have enough operating and design & construction personnel to operate and maintain existing assets and build and operate the infrastructure planned for the future? How can we address the changing needs of the generation about to enter the workforce? Are companies adopting and implementing advanced technologies to enhance safety, quality, and efficiency on each jobsite?
The panel, consisting of owners, EPCs, academia, and construction workforce training and development experts, will discuss how we can develop, engage, train and sustain enough personnel to meet the projected energy and infrastructure needs across the country.

Blast it Off and Raise the Roof: Motiva’s Experience with Robotic Tank Cleaning and Pneumatic Roof Raising
Mechanical Integrity
Motiva’s 2.0 Tank Division journey leveraged time-tested technology that has consistently delivered success in our industry. Innovative robotic cleaning not only enhances safety compared to manual blasting but also boosts efficiency and reduces waste disposal costs. This means a safer, more cost-effective solution. To further elevate our tank maintenance process, we introduced “Pneumatic Roof Raising” technology, which significantly minimizes human exposure to negative ergonomics, pinch points, and the need for extensive scaffolding which translates to quicker project completion, reduced downtime, and enhanced overall safety.
