Feature Growth Assessment: Predicting feature growth is among the most critical insights required to ensure the safe and profitable operation of a pipeline. NDT Global capitalizes on the high accuracy of our data to achieve the most realistic feature growth predictions. Over time, these signal-on-signal analyses provide the insights needed to maximize asset lifecycle, safety, and profitability.

Pipeline Movement Assessment: Pipelines are designed, to within millimeter levels of accuracy, to make sure they operate efficiently, safely, and profitably. Landslide, earthquakes, and erosions put all of those goals in jeopardy. In a single inspection, our ultrasonic tool, coupled with an INS module, delivers the information needed to identify where movement is happening and what incremental strain and risk it’s introducing. Our run-on-run Pipeline Movement Assessments provide ongoing insights about how that movement is correlated to bending strain, circumferential cracks, and other asset threats.

Dent Strain Assessment: In and of themselves deformations can cause throughput challenges. Left unattended, they can lead to cracks and other threats in your pipeline, disrupting service, affecting the environment, and reducing asset profitability. Our dent strain assessment was designed to identify these threats and then – through the analyses by our team of experts – give you the information you need to address the most critical risks and defer remediation for those that are nowhere near criticality.

Dent Profile Characterization: Of all the threats facing a pipeline’s operation, dents have the potential to be the most injurious. They can be harmful on their own but can be even more injurious if they are adjacent to other features like metal loss, cracks, or other defects. Dent Profile Characterization plays an important role in these dent observation measures because the potential threats that dents present are based on a wide array of factors.
