Pipeline Movement Assessment Services
NDT Global provides Pipeline Movement Assessment services designed to help operators monitor and mitigate the risks associated with pipeline displacement. Due to elevation changes, natural phenomena, and third-party interference, pipeline movement can compromise the integrity of an asset. If not identified early, such movements can lead to pipeline failures, product loss, financial penalties, and environmental hazards. NDT Global employs advanced inspection tools to gather precise GPS data on pipelines and identify strain areas, which reveal potential threats. For assets prone to significant external strain, periodic assessments can track the progression of movement-related features. During inspections, tools collect data on pipeline length and curvature, allowing analysts to foresee potential failures and provide essential insights for preventive measures. This data-driven approach enables business owners to make informed decisions on asset remediation, ensuring pipelines function safely and reliably throughout their lifecycle. Contact NDT Global to get detailed insights into how pipeline movement may be affecting your operations.
Caused by elevation changes, natural phenomenon, and third-party interference, pipeline movement has the ability to compromise pipeline integrity.
Unanticipated displacement introduces strains for which the asset may not have been designed. If these features aren’t identified early, they can cause pipeline failure, product loss, financial loss, and environmental damage. NDT Global’s Pipeline Movement Assessment was designed to help avoid those outcomes.
Our assessments use our latest inspection tools to collect the most accurate pipeline GPS data. Operators seeking a snapshot of how pipeline movement could be introducing strain into their asset can choose a single inspection. Our analysts take the collected data and review it with a special focus on areas of the pipeline experiencing higher-than-expected strain. These are potential indicators that pipeline movement is an impending threat. For assets more prone to external strain (i.e., pipelines with extreme horizontal or vertical transitions), periodic assessments can measure the growth of pipeline movement-related features. During multiple inspections, our tools simultaneously collect data about the length of a given pipeline and its curvature. These run-on-run data allow our analysts to both identify where features are and predict the likelihood of asset failure. These insights provide business owners with the insights they need to make informed remediation decisions.
