Pinpointing the right location
Mehdi M. Laichoubi and Sylvain Decombe Buried pipelines are the most secure and efficient means to transport vital resources for our communities. A precise mapping of such infrastructures is a critical input to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) used to ensure the safety and integrity of these networks. The safety impact of such information is twofold: […]
Automatic 3D – Localisation of Buried Pipeline and Depth of Cover : Magnetic investigation under operational conditions
Mehdi M. LAICHOUBI, M. Eng ; Marc MUNSCHY, PhD ; Samir TAKILLAH, PhD ; Sylvain DECOMBE, M. Eng ; Vincent BENET, M. Eng ; Aude LABROSSE ; Damien LEFEBVRE Pipeline operators need to 3D-geolocalize their buried pipelines for two main reasons: to update their network’s Geographic Information System and for safety considerations, in particular to […]
Large Stand-Off Magnetometry (LSM) For Buried Pipeline Inspection
Samir Takillah PhD, Mehdi Laichoubi M.Eng, and Hamza Kella Bennani PhD Dents are among the anomalies which may be a threat to safe operation of pipelines. Dents are characterized by plastic deformation, which causes changes in the magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic pipe wall. Skipper NDT, a company at the forefront of LSM technology, conducted […]
The Magnetic Dimension
E. A. Fnaiech , M. Munschy ˩, S. Corbineau , M. Marzin, P. Rohart, S. Takillah Frequent inspections of oil and gas pipelines are critical to ensure their operational safety, and to protect people and the environment. A significant portion of the global network, estimated at 30%, cannot be inspected through traditional techniques, i.e. inline […]
