PIPELINE INTEGRITY

The PIMSlider® suite of software applications is a comprehensive graphical multi-user software tool that processes pipeline, population and environmental information in an integrated way for all phases of the Pipeline Integrity Management process. The PIMSlider® tool provides vital information at the right time for business-critical decisions related to designing maintenance programmes, inspection strategies, investment for repairs or replacements, or demonstrating the integrity of the pipeline.

The most important objective of any pipeline operator is the preservation of the licence to operate a safe and reliable pipeline system. Without the right information or tools to process information, a company cannot make sound strategic decisions on the state of any part of their pipeline network.

Whether is comes down to designing maintenance schemes and inspection strategies, or demonstrating the integrity of the grid, IT systems form a vital part of the overall management of the network to provide auditable results.

PIPELINE DATA INTEGRITY

Pipeline operators require vast amounts of data in order to manage the everyday activities related to pipeline integrity. In order for key decisions to be made effectively, gathering and interpreting of correct data becomes an important task. The best way to solve this problem is to transfer this data to a single uniform relational database. Storing this data in one place and one clearly defined format allows connections to be created (for different pieces of data) for the same pipeline object.

With this information available, the operator can analyse the relationship between the different facts and figures with the object, and make appropriate decisions related to pipeline inspections, repair plans and preventative measures.
