NDT SOLUTIONS 3D3D SCANNING SCANNING SOLUTION SOLUTION FORFOR PIPELINE PIPELINE INTEGRITY INTEGRITY ASSESSMENTASSESSMENT CODE-COMPLIANT CODE-COMPLIANT Pipeline operators and NDT service companies are facing an increasing pressure from regulation authorities and environmentalist groups to guarantee pipeline networks integrity, while wanting to keep maintenance costs as low as possible. Field crews are experiencing pressure to complete inspection as quickly as possible so the excavation site can be backfilled, and the pipeline, put back into service in the shortest time. Thus, the use of surface inspection tools that are reliable, efficient and user-friendly is of paramount importance. Creaform has developed the PipecheckTM solution for pipeline integrity assessment. The solution includes a HandySCAN 3DTM portable handheld scanner and the Pipecheck software. Thanks to this unique 3D scanning technology and innovative software, surface inspection has been reinvented completely! RELIABLE. EFFICIENT. EASY. INTRODUCING PIPECHECK. PIPECHECK SOFTWARE MODULES CORROSION MECHANICAL DAMAGE Pipecheck’s pipeline corrosion software module offers very fast and As its name states, this software module has been developed reliable data processing that generates instant, on-site results. specifically for pipeline mechanical damage analysis. This module In comparison with traditional measurement methods, this software features numerous key functionalities that increase dent understanding offers accuracy and repeatability that are beyond expectations. and facilitate the decision making process. ADVANCED FUNCTIONALITIES CORROSION IN ILI CORRELATION MECHANICAL DAMAGE STRAIGHTENING OPERATION TOOL Being able to separate material loss depth Traditional methods for depth measurement The ILI Correlation tool is used to correlate from a mechanical damage deformation is (pit gauge) on field bends can’t be used in-line inspection data with the Pipecheck 3D no longer a dream. Pipecheck software is the accurately since the pipe curvature often scanning inspection data. The user’s interface one and only solution on the market to offer introduces depth values that do not has been optimized to compare depth, length, sophisticated tools able to extract corrosion represent the material loss or pipe geometry width and burst pressure. depth that is located within a mechanical deformations. In order to solve this issue damage. and to improve efficiency and confidence To properly assess the performance of the in results, Pipecheck features a built-in ILI tool, pipeline operators need to carry out Being able to measure accurately both types straightening tool. statistically significant population analysis of damage contributing to pipeline integrity with a device offering better accuracy than will directly increase the level of confidence of The tool uses powerful algorithms that the magnetic-flux leakage (MFL) technology. the user in the pipeline integrity management extract the pipe’s center-line and straightens The HandySCAN 3D scanners quickly capture program. the full segment. The material loss and/or metal loss and damaged areas. They also mechanical damage can then be assessed help building a larger and acceptable This confidence will result in a lower with the virtual Pipecheck’s pit-gauge tool population for statistical analysis. maintenance cost and in a reduced risk of to report depths reading free of any pipe costly failure. curvature. Operators can assess ILI performances by comparing pig data against Pipecheck data to help them determine with more precision the sites that actually need to be dug.
