From an NDT finding to a traceable decision: How to connect field data, GIS, and integrity management The challenge doesn’t end when an indication is detected. It begins when that information must be transmitted from the field, retain its context, and lead to a technical decision that can be reconstructed later. Non-destructive testing (NDT) provides […]
In demanding industries such as oil, petrochemicals, power generation, and heavy manufacturing, asset management is not just an operational practice—it is the cornerstone of safety, business continuity, and financial profitability. When a critical pressure vessel, a pipe, or a storage tank shows signs of deterioration due to corrosion, fatigue, or cracks, the organization faces an […]
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 […]
Cathodic protection is essential to prevent corrosion in pipelines, tanks and metallic structures, but its effectiveness depends on constant evaluation. Without proper diagnosis, problems such as premature failure, accelerated corrosion or electrical interference can occur, compromising asset integrity. To assist integrity engineers and cathodic protection specialists, we have developed a Technical Checklist with 16 key […]
Sacrificial anodes are elements that are installed in pipes or tanks so that the whole system is free of corrosion, when they are implemented they displace all the corrosion towards them and thus protect the metal. In order to generate this effect, the materials to be used must be pure, such as zinc, magnesium or […]
Cathodic protection is a method to prevent corrosion in buried and submerged metallic structures. It allows extending the life of the structures, obtaining both high benefits to the safety and reliability of the installations, as well as significant reduction of total costs during the life of the assets. It is commonly used to protect numerous […]
