Early detection is the difference between scheduled maintenance and a catastrophic failure caused by accelerated corrosion. In corridors where electrical infrastructure and fluid-transport pipelines converge, electromagnetic interference (EMI) diagnostics must be rigorous and systematic. Many engineers rely solely on rectifier potential readings, overlooking the fact that alternating current (AC) interference can damage the coating even […]
In the cathodic protection industry, the accuracy and continuity of ON/OFF cycles are critical to ensure reliable assessments of asset integrity status.. However, in many inspection campaigns, circuit breaker failures lead to outages, economic losses and compromise the quality of the data obtained.. These failures, although often underestimated, can have a significant impact on operational […]
Industrial technologies are reaching an inflection point for companies across oil & gas, energy, infrastructure, and food processing. This article highlights three advancements expected to reshape asset integrity, industrial GIS, and digital HSEQ in 2026—and how TECNA ICE supports organizations as they transition into this new technological landscape. 1. AI Agents in Maintenance and Asset […]
Timely evaluation can prevent critical consequences. Knowing when to perform an NDT inspection (non-destructive testing) on an asset is a decision that must not be taken lightly. Whether to comply with standards such as API 510, API 570, API 653, or to prevent failures in continuous operation, NDT inspections are a key tool in mechanical […]
HSEQ compliance requires concrete actions. This half-yearly cut-off point is a key occasion to review, evaluate and strengthen your safety, health, environment and quality systems before the second half of the year. This technical checklist is designed so that, in 10-15 minutes, OSH or HSEQ teams can validate critical areas without losing productivity. It is […]
At Tecna ICE, we know that not all environments require complex systems to start managing intelligently. That is why we provide you with a practical tool: a web calculator that allows you to calculate the level of operational risk of an asset with three key parameters: severity, probability and detectability. This calculator is aligned with […]
Technology applied to operational risk is redefining how industrial organizations manage integrity, security and business continuity. In an environment where every decision can have critical consequences, new digital developments make it possible to anticipate, prioritize and act with an unprecedented level of precision. Advanced models to understand risk Advanced models allow a deeper and more […]
Have you ever been confused with all the database options for pipeline GIS management? What is the difference between them all? If I operate regulated and unregulated pipelines, can I store my distribution and transmission functions in the same schematic and network? Although the industry has been using GIS for hydrocarbon transportation pipeline management for […]
