A New Phased Array Sensor for Pipeline Inspection – Optimization and Quantitative Performance Evaluation

Baker Hughes
Baker Hughes
The phased array technique allows for a flexible adaption of the ultrasonic inspection techniques for a large range of applications. By using it in the area of pipeline inspection various inspection modes can be performed simultaneously. That was the reason for Baker Hughes (previously PII Pipeline Solutions) to develop an inspection tool based on...

Long Distance Inline Inspection of an Unpiggable Natural Gas Pipeline with Robotic Technology

Intero Integrity
Intero Integrity
In-line inspection (ILI) is a pipeline assessment method used by operators to receive a comprehensive integrity assessment of their pipeline. However, ILI may become unfeasible due to factors such as insufficient flow/pressure parameters for propulsion, pipeline features such as valves, back-toback elbows and unbarred tees, as well as the lack of...

Advances in In-Field ILI Indication and Material Verification

Rosen Group
Rosen Group
Post in-line inspection (ILI) digs are essential tools in the integrity arsenal to validate and verify ILI tool performance and provide data for use in post-ILI integrity assessments. In addition, dig verification can be utilized to validate material properties, increase confidence in feature characterization or even replace previously lost records...

Operational performance validation results for a satellite-based ROW monitoring solution

Orbital Eye
Orbital Eye
For the past decades, helicopter surveys have been the state-of-the-art solution for right-of-way (ROW) monitoring to protect pipelines from third-party-interferences (TPI’s). When TPI activities damage a pipeline, it can lead to disastrous events. Therefore, aerial inspection early-warning systems are used to mitigate these risks. Recent...

Digital Communication for safety of water pipelines - Case Study German Harzwasserwerke GmbH on the use of the BIL-Portal for pipeline enquiries

BIL eG
BIL eG
How the BIL-portal delivers significant value to an infrastructure-network carrier in efficiently processing planning and construction enquiries from third parties. A portal connection and communication process without media discontinuity leads to lower enquiry volume with simultaneously increasing number of relevant enquiries and allows digital...

Corrosion protection tapes: lamination versus coextrusion - Which production technology wins-out in the long-term?

DENSO Group Germany
DENSO Group Germany
Steel pipelines are capital-intensive, so their service life is critical. DENSO Group Germany impressively demonstrates the vital role that superior production technology plays in the operating life of a pipeline with the exceptionally long life of its three-ply corrosion protection tapes: even after 40 years in the field, the coating with a...

Editorial: Visions for a Safer Future

Editorial 4-2021
Editorial 4-2021
What is your vision for the future? Does our world have to become even safer? Surely! There are an unbelievable number of opportunities to make our plants even safer. However, we have to redefine safety and dare to cut off old “braids”. Safety technology must become intelligent and adaptable to processes, and we must stop discharging hazardous...

Artificial Intelligence in the Design of Offshore Pipelines against Geohazards

National Technical University of Athens
National Technical University of Athens
Depending on the local site conditions (i.e. bathymetry, geomorphology, geology), an offshore geohazard may have a detrimental impact on an offshore high-pressure gas pipeline during its lifetime. This fact is more pronounced in areas characterized by seismicity and the associated earthquake-related geohazards. Therefore, the design of an offshore...

Spec Breaks: Application of Codes for Launchers and Receivers

T.D. Williamson
T.D. Williamson
Safety and compliance are priorities for the design and operation of pipeline pig launchers and receivers, also known as traps. During design, different codes and standards can be applied depending on the product that will be transported and where the equipment will be located. Because of code interpretation, an operator or equipment provider may...

The Sivas Gypsum Karst - Implications for Routing, Construction and Operation of the Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline

ILF Consulting Engineers Austria & TANAP
ILF Consulting Engineers Austria & TANAP
The TANAP route runs 92 km through one of the world´s largest gypsum karst terrains, covering an area of 2140km² (Günay 2002; Doğan & Yeşilyurt 2019) located in the Turkish Province of Sivas. A fantastic place for the geologist but a big challenge for the routing and construction of a pipeline. Based on the morphology a karst classification...
