A service taylored to data Freaks, digitalizers and pipeliners who are ready to survey the future
ADVANCED 3D-MAPPING
A CUTTING-EDGE SERVICE DESIGNED TO REVEICE 3D-POSTION DATA FOR EVERY 1 CM OF PIPELINE
CHALLENGE
As the pipeline industry evolves, increasingly efficient measurement planning and stricter regulations for pipeline operators demand precise knowledge of the exact and current XYZ position of buried pipelines at all locations.
Over time, pipelines change position due to earth and soil movements, and often, pipe position documentation is incomplete or outdated. Current standard methods either lack sufficient accuracy in determining pipe position or only allow point-by-point determination of absolute position. Consequently, these methods fall short in accurately capturing pipe geometry, bend radii and angles, and are only partially suitable for creating up-to-date, seamless pipeline documentation.
SOLUTION
At EMPIT, we understand the importance of accurate pipeline position data and have developed a solution to these challenges through our state-of-the-art Current Magnetometry Inspection (CMI) technology. CMI is a non-contact magnetic survey that enables precise mapping of pipeline geometry from the earth's surface. With CMI, operators benefit from updated and seamless documentation of their buried assets that not only meet current industry standards but exceed them.
Our team of experts at EMPIT delivers highly accurate, uninterrupted documentation of the pipeline's 3D position, accurately mapping vertical and horizontal bends from an angle of one degree. Our customers trust our services to significantly improve their asset data, save costs in planning measures, and protect themselves optimally in disputes with third parties by employing the latest surveying technology.
KEY POINTS
- 3D-position data for every cm of pipeline
- Mapping of joint and bend geometry (length, radius, angle)
- Detection of ground and pipeline movement
- Optimal protection for operators in disputes with third parties
