Pipecheck: 3D Scanning Solution Pipeline Integrity Assessment

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.
