At Integrity EPC, we understand how valuable an operators’ time is. In-line inspection can be a very time consuming project with many components, which is why we can came up with a streamlined process to make sure everything is evaluated and accounted for. Below is a look into our process: Assess the pipeline to determine…

Problem:A client’s pipeline system was initially built in 2016 with multiple new lines being constructed and placed into operation in the years thereafter. Most of the operational history while the pipeline was owned and operated by the previous owner is not available, so the historical parameters for consideration during this evaluation are limited to year…

ProblemLiquid and gas operators must identify if their existing HCAs need modifications on an annual basis. Sometimes the parameters of operating pressure and volume change or new structures are built near the pipeline. What is a simple method for calculating these properly? Furthermore, the new regulations indicate the need to determine the Moderate Consequence Areas…

Based on the gap…

When we talk about data management using Survey Module, we are really talking about the moment we begin uploading survey data into the Orbital web portal.   As all you know, most of the data management begins in the office and your processes can make or break your project coming in under budget.  Additionally, 90% of…

Problem Our Client requested In-Line-Inspection (ILI) reports to be reviewed and to “align” ILI vendor data reports to as-built pipeline records in GIS.  For this example, the ILI vendor used “Magnetic Flux Leakage Technology” to detect and characterize internal and external metal loss features. Integrity EPC’s Data Management and GIS team has been tasked with…
