Pipeline condition assessment

Assess the condition of your pipelines with our service range

Pipelines are protected against deterioration in a variety of ways. But the effectiveness of these protective systems can diminish over time, and defects can develop in structures, adversely affecting the reliability, safety and performance of assets. It is therefore essential to perform condition assessments using the best available techniques.

Condition assessments allow you to pinpoint immediate threats, to predict the rate of growth of a defect and to understand how you can prevent these defects from happening.

With Fitness-For-Purpose assessments, Corrosion Growth Analyses, Remaining Life Assessments and Pipeline Lifecycle Assessments, combined with our PIMS software called PRIMS, you are able to assess both the current situation and predict future issues or necessary actions.

How we assess the condition of your pipeline network

Fitness For Purpose Assessments (FFP)

FFP serves as a rational basis for defining flaw acceptance limits and allows engineers to distinguish between which flaws and damages are acceptable and which are not.

Using our pipeline software PRIMS, we perform metal loss corrosion analyses according to different standards, such as ASME b31g, ASME b31g Modified, and DNV. Our experts provide you with recommendations for further investigation, remediation, and inspection interval.

All this information is gathered in an FFP report so you know exactly whether it is safe to operate the pipeline and you comply with regulatory requirements.

Corrosion Growth Analysis (CGA)

Pipeline operators are faced with questions about the presence, location, and severity of corrosion in their pipelines. In addition, you probably face challenges with estimating a realistic corrosion growth rate (CGR).

We perform ILI inspections to help you understand the degradation rates. The collected data-sets from different surveys can then be matched in one information layer through Feature Matching.

PRIMS visualizes high CGR and gives you access to decisive values, such as the projection of corrosion growth, Estimated Repair Factor (ERF) and PSafe values. This forms the basis for remaining life assessment.

Remaining Life Assessments (RLA)

Applying reliable corrosion growth rates over time leads to estimates of future condition that can be used with the same fitness for purpose methodologies to assess the future economic life of the pipeline.

Improved insight into pipeline maintenance and repair needs is the best basis for cost optimization and investment planning. Additionally, it reduces the likelihood of unwanted events.

Pipeline Lifecycle Assessments (LCA)

Based on FFP and remaining Life Assessments, the Lifecycle Assessment offers economic modelling of repair / replace / investment strategies over the desired service life of the pipeline.

Considered factors include desired service life and financial benefit of pipeline, expected level of repairs, projected repair costs and projected replacement cost. The report contains recommendations for the optimal repair/replace strategy based on existing and projected factors.

Benefits of pipeline condition assessments

Analyze the operational safety of your assets

WIth our different assessments and PRIMS software tool, you have full insight whether your assets are safe to operate, when problems may arise and when actions are required.

Estimate a realistic Corrosion Growth Rate

Inspections are often carried out with different technologies with varying capabilities to interpret different cases of corrosion. Our ILI inspections and PRIMS software provide you with reliable corrosion growth distribution.

Optimize costs and plan your investments

Assess the future economical life of your pipelines and improve insight in repair and maintenance needs to plan your investments accordingly with our PRIMS software tool.
