ICorr Aberdeen 27th June Technical Session

[icor...@gmail.com]

Dear All,

 

You are warmly invited to attend our last monthly event in the 2022-2023 Session which will be held on Tuesday 27th June 2023.

We are very pleased to welcome Dirk L. Van Oostendorp of Corrpro to give a presentation on "Direct Assessment for unpiggable pipelines”

Note that this will be an online presentation. Also note that the presentation will be preceded by the Annual General meeting.

Based on Federal laws signed in 2001, pipeline operators in the USA were required to develop a proactive Pipeline Integrity Management Plan (IMP) intended to manage risk and protect the public in areas near operational pipelines. Inline inspection (ILI) was the preferred methodology to inspect pipelines, and hydrostatic testing was the alternative. The majority of North American natural gas transmission pipelines were not constructed to permit inspection using intelligent tools (ultrasonic, magnetic flux leakage). This was due to the lack of launching and receiving facilities, but also throughput requirements, varying (telescopic) diameters, short‐radius or wrinkle bends, reduced‐port valves, or branch connections. In order to adequately ensure the structural integrity of these pipelines, some alternative form of condition determination and evaluation was required.

The Interstate Gas Association of America, together with the Gas Technology Institute, assembled an expert team to address this issue. The result was the development of an alternate inspection methodology, coined Direct Assessment, which made use of a combination of proven techniques. This presentation discusses the four (4) steps in the Direct Assessment methodology, highlights success factors, shares results from actual projects and assesses challenges that can be encountered during implementation.

The event is "Free" to attend.
