Report on the results of in-line diagnostics
Our detailed reports provide information on all pipeline defects, their location and the degree of danger. This allows us to prevent accidents in time, reduce risks, optimize maintenance and ensure compliance with safety standards.
A detailed technical report - ensuring the safety and reliability of your pipeline.
- Advantages
- What benefits does it bring to your company?
- 1. Accuracy and transparency:The report provides precise data on the location and nature of defects, which allows you to accurately localize problem areas and avoid unnecessary costs for non-essential repairs
- 2. Time and resource savings:The report can be used to identify which areas need immediate attention and which can be postponed, which helps to allocate budget and time efficiently.
- 3. Extend pipeline life:The information obtained allows defects to be repaired in a timely manner, which significantly extends the life of the pipeline system.
- 4. Confidence in safety:Timely identification and elimination of defects helps prevent accidents, leaks and other dangerous situations, ensuring the safety of employees and the environment.
- 5. Reduced risk of fines and penalties:Compliance with standards and timely diagnostics prevent potential fines for non-compliance with safety standards.
A technical report on the results of in-line diagnostics is a document that provides a complete picture of the condition of the pipeline system after the inspection.
It includes detailed information on the defects detected (corrosion, cracks, mechanical damage and other anomalies), as well as recommendations for further actions to eliminate the problems.
Such a report is required for:
Such a report is required for:
► Assessments of the current condition of the pipelines.
► Making informed decisions on repair or replacement of pipeline sections.
► Compliance with regulatory requirements and safety standards.
► Planning and optimizing future maintenance.
► Confirming regulatory compliance at various stages of operation.
- What benefits do we bring?
In-depth experience:
We have many years of experience in performing in-line diagnostics at various sites and with different technical requirements. Our team is highly qualified specialists who use the latest methods and technologies to obtain accurate data.
Individual approach
Every project is unique for us. We develop diagnostics and reports centered on the specifics of your pipeline, allowing us to identify all hidden defects and address specific risks.
State-of-the-art technology
We use only advanced diagnostic tools and techniques such as MFL and TFI to ensure highly accurate results and reliable reports.
Transparency and clarity:
Our reports are clear, detailed documents that require no further interpretation.
We provide a complete description of all processes so you can easily make informed decisions.
We provide a complete description of all processes so you can easily make informed decisions.
Comprehensive approach:
We don't just provide pipeline status data, we also make recommendations to optimize service and troubleshoot problems, saving you time and money over the long term.
- The final stage of in-line diagnostics is report preparation.
The report is prepared based on the results of analyzing the signals recorded by the inspection equipment. For signal decoding we use in-house developed methods, algorithms and software.
The report can be submitted in several forms:
The report can be submitted in several forms:
Partial report
contains information on any part of the inspected area and is issued in agreement with the customer in case of urgent repair works.
Preliminary report
is an initial summary document that provides early findings from the inspection run. This report is typically delivered shortly after the ILI tool (e.g., smart pig) has passed through the pipeline and the data has been partially processed.
Final report
contains the most complete information on the modes of operation of in-line equipment, all identified elements of the surveyed pipeline section, features, anomalies (defects) and their measured parameters. As a reference, the final report may contain the results of hazard assessment and information on priorities for external inspection of the identified anomalies.
Other types of reports
Additional reports for an individual diagnostic device, such as Caliper, as well as Fitness for Service (FFS) and Fitness for Purpose (FFP) reports. These reports are issued in consultation with the customer.
ZOGPI reports on the results of in-line diagnostics are provided to the customer on paper and as data on electronic media together with the software designed for their visualization and analysis.
Our company uses three approaches to provide processed in-line diagnostics data, which can be conditionally called:
Our company uses three approaches to provide processed in-line diagnostics data, which can be conditionally called:
- Printed report
- Electronic report
- Data for analysis in geographic information systems (GIS).
► Printed report
The “printed” report is a text file with hyperlinks in Adobe pdf format, which is delivered to the customer in printed and electronic form.
This report is a self-sufficient document, which contains processed data of in-line diagnostics, methods of defect hazard calculation, reference material on used terms and definitions, bibliographic sources.
► Electronic report
Electronic report is designed for visualization and analysis of in-line diagnostics data. This report allows to work with in-line inspection data for one pipeline section.
The main advantages of the “Electronic” report:
- The results are in the form of customizable tables and diagrams;
- Table contents can be organized and filtered (including according to defect hazard);
- Calculation of defect and pipe hazard characteristics is possible;
- Calculates defect and pipe hazard assessment (safe operating pressure, bursting pressure, CBD, recommended external inspection period) using various standards;
- Visual analysis of pie and bar charts of defect distribution;
- Detail sheets (with “raw” data) can be generated for any damaged pipe;
- The contents of all tables are exported in CSV and MS Excel formats;
► Data for GIS
ZOGPI has the technical capability to provide the customer with processed in-line diagnostics data suitable for use in any geoinformation system. This approach expands the customer's possibilities for visualization and analysis of diagnostic data.
The main features of this approach:
- Report materials are provided in KML/KMZ file format, which is an industry standard. Various third-party programs can be used to work with them at the customer's discretion;
- The graphical representation of the data is very flexible;
- Report materials can be viewed, filtered, analyzed and combined with other types of georeferenced data (maps, orthophotos, etc.);
- Report materials can be exported to various databases, maps and navigation aids (depending on the capabilities of the GIS used).
- Fitness for Service (FFS) and Fitness for Purpose (FFP) reports
are two critical processes that help determine the condition and safety of pipeline systems and their compliance with established operational requirements.
