Challenges Challenges Faced by Pipeline Infrastructure Limited
Pipeline data management is crucial and complex. Maintaining overall pipeline integrity depends on how the pipeline data is managed and analyzed to ensure integrity and health of the pipeline network.
Data Consolidation
Every month around 15 different surveys were carried out for Cathodic Protection, ROU, Surveillance, Corrosion monitoring etc. for 10 pipeline sections. This data was collected from sites in excel & paper format and sent to the headquarters Integrity teams. Consolidating, validating and analyzing this vast amount of data to identify issues was a huge task requiring weeks of effort from multiple integrity engineers.
