Operators seeking a snapshot of how pipeline movement could be introducing strainRefers to the stress and deformation that a pipeline experiences due to external forces, such as ground movement, soil settlement, or external loading. When … 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.

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 failureThe inability of a pipeline system to fulfill its intended function or meet the required performance criteria.
