Integrity 2020

June 18, 2020

An online conference focusing on the latest developments and innovations in pipeline integrity

NDT Global

Accomplish the impossible with integrity intelligence

In this presentation, NDT Global will discuss the significance of integrity intelligence, emphasising the importance of tailor-made inspections over a ‘one-size-fits-all’ standardised solution.

Standardised reporting in some cases provides conservative results, but if the IMP of the operator and other challenges are understood as well taking the history of the pipeline, mechanical properties, and other variables into consideration, this can provide a much more specific analysis which in turn can provide better input data and therefore ultimately provide better assessments.

In this presentation, NDT Global will discuss the importance of consulting the operator about a pipeline’s history and challenges, as well as understanding if there is a need for something specific to be done from the beginning of the analysis. This will eventually mitigate sifting through an abundance of information and having to going back to reanalyse.

NDT Global will also use case studies to demonstrate finite element analysis to assess uncommon threats as well as how best to conduct run-over-run comparisons both internally and externally in relation to crack or corrosion growth assessment.
