We are happy to announce the recent addition of a full-scale Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA), Internal Corrosion Predictive Modeling (ICPM), and internal corrosion risk assessment solution to our service offering to help pipeline operators proactively manage their assets. This…
The boat is fully equipped for pipeline water crossing inspections and can be operated as a manned vessel, remote controlled from shore or run in autonomous mode Integrity management of pipelines at water crossings is an important part of regulatory…
Areas across North America have been impacted by flooding over the past month causing concern for pipeline owners and operators. Severe flooding, river scour and river channel migration can adversely impact the safe operation of a pipeline. Last month PHMSA…
Methane, the primary component in natural gas, is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change as it enters the atmosphere. Methane is particularly concerning as its global warming potential is 25 times that of carbon dioxide over a…
PureHM's Tim Ross explores the downfalls of conventional pig tracking and explains how permanent remote tracking can improve safety and help operators realize significant cost savings in World Pipeline's October issue.
Relying on a single method of leak detection is akin to relying on only one ILI tool for a full pipeline integrity assessment – both leak detection and ILI require multiple tool solutions that look for different indicators that the…
Oil and gas pipelines have well-defined leak detection protocols to proactively identify leaks. The most common is computational pipeline monitoring (CPM), which works by continuously comparing the amount of product entering the pipeline to the amount of product exiting the…
PureHM’s Pipe Wall Assessment (PWA) technology – which uses the Villari effect to measure stress changes in pipelines – was initially developed more than 10 years ago to address gaps with tools traditionally used to assess pipeline condition, specifically related…
Canada has approximately 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles) of transmission pipeline ranging from 4 to 48 inches in diameter. With the large distance of pipeline and the expectation that Global energy demand will increase by 33% by 2035, safe pipeline operations…
Before Spectrum XLI was known as the leading system in above-ground inspections, it was originally called the Pisces Program, a system designed for field technicians to complete river crossing surveys from a boat. Prior to the Pisces Program, when a…
