Aging pipelines require new maintenance technologies to ensure their operational safety to protect communities and the environment, given the severe consequences of failures.
Skipper NDT introduces a new paradigm leveraging the latest technologies to transform maintenance protocols through automation. The benefits to operators / service providers are:
- Enhance data quality
- Better safety for field personnel
- Cost efficiency
Field applications include precise pipeline geospatial positioning in complex environments such as river crossings, bending strain assessment in geohazard-prone areas or underground asset mapping for decommissioned sites.
Leading operators like Chevron, Marathon, and Enbridge have integrated the Skipper NDT technology to enhance their pipeline integrity management programs and reduce operational safety hazards.
