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 […]
Unexpected variations in cathodic protection potentials, unstable readings, or changes associated with certain operating conditions may indicate that an external variable is affecting the measurement. Before expanding a measurement campaign, scaling up the diagnostic process, or defining an action for the system, it is advisable to verify which factors may be influencing the results and […]
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 cathodic protection potential readings, overlooking the fact that alternating current (AC) interference can damage pipelines and […]
