The full turnkey integrity program is a multi-phased approach by design. This insures that unnecessary programs are not implemented and project costs are kept in check and on budget. The first phase of the program is pipeline or system assessment.
Assessing the situation to determine what needs to be done is the natural starting point for all pipeline integrity projects.
Whether your situation is a complete pipeline network or a defined pipeline within your system, Corrpro can get you started on the right program.
Pipeline information, present and historic, is reviewed and interviews with key operations personnel are conducted to help complete the overall system picture.
This information is introduced into the Corrpro "Pipeline Integrity Database" program which can be utilized on its own to consolidate all pipeline integrity information or fused to a major Geographic Information System (GIS).
All system information and data is used to develop a pipeline integrity program that’s right for your company.
For large pipeline systems, Corrpro has a comprehensive "Risk Assessment" program which is implemented to steer your pipeline integrity project to the most critical line segments first.
The information may be focused solely on the pipeline’s physical integrity or it may include other elements such as environment, operations, or regulations.
The risk of an undesirable event occurrence is tabulated on the probability and the severity of the adverse event. The hazards are plotted against the consequences and are evaluated by specialized risk assessment engineers.
This provides you, the pipeline operator, the ability to assess the entire situation and to validate the need for pipeline integrity programs.
