Non-destructive testing (NDT) is an inspection and analysis technique used by the oil and gas industry, among others, to evaluate pipeline properties without destroying the serviceability of the original system. Surface corrosion, mechanical damage and cracks are the most common discontinuities detected by visual examinations. As NDT managers or project engineers working for a utility […]
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 […]
Mechanical integrity is the management of critical process assets to ensure that they are designed, operated and installed correctly.
Site monitoring systems are an integral component of construction projects that have complex geotechnical challenges, risk to the public, or infrastructure
Corrosion and fatigue have been the dominant degradation mechanisms in offshore structures, and the combination of the two, known as corrosion fatigue, has amplified effects on structures in harsh marine environments. New types of structure are now being developed for use in harsh and highly dynamic marine environments, particularly for renewable energy applications. However, they […]
If you haven’t yet taken the leap into geographic information systems (GIS Services), you may be wondering why you need it or what you would do with it. Whether the maps are to locate and manage your company’s information, whether it’s infrastructure you need to monitor or identify the location of an asset on a […]
Duct integrity means ensuring that ducts and all related components are functioning properly. In short, it’s all about keeping the pipeline safe for life.
Continuous research and advances in coatings, cathodic protection (SPC) helps to understand and prevent corrosion of a metal.
