INSPECTION AND REHABILITATION SPECIFICATIONS.
PIM produce a number of Specifications setting out the Methods to be used for:-
- DC Voltage Gradient, Close Interval Potential, Resistivity, pH, Metal Loss Surveys etc.
- Pipeline Coating Rehabilitation, Methods and Materials.
- Cathodic Protection Materials, Construction Techniques and Operations.
- Metal Loss Repair Techniques (Sleeves, Clock Spring, Epoxy Impregnated Fibre Glass).
DATA GATHERING AND SURVEYING.
- All different types of above ground surveys carried out (CIPS, DCVG, Resistivity, pH, GPS, Depth of Burial). We also manufacture many different types of survey equipment.
- All surveys normally use one metre accuracy GPS for Location and Distance Measurement. Also pipe route location for GIS Mapping systems.
- The Internet used to transfer survey data to the PIM data analysis team based in UK.
- DCVG and GPS are used to relocate defects for repair and to direct the excavator operator to reduce digging costs, which are usually 60-70% of rehabilitation costs.
DATA ANALYSIS AND PACKAGES OF WORK.
- Experienced Permanent Data Analysis Team using Specialist Software for data Analysis of more than 70 inputs.
- The Software, ECDA , produces graphical presentations to justify rehabilitation
- ECDA Analysis produces Packages of Work each package consisting of 10 excavations or 200 metres of digging and is used to control Rehabilitation Contractors.
COST ANALYSIS AND CONTROL.
- ECDA analyses overall Project Costs, subdivided into Manpower, Machines and Materials Costs.
- Individual Activity during Rehabilitation of Metal, Coating and CP Costs Evaluated
- Project Resource Requirements for Machines, Manpower and Materials identified.
- Major Project Cost Areas readily identified for close control.
REPAIR MATERIALS AND METHODS.
- Coating Materials Selection and Application Methods.
- Steel Pipe Repair Materials and Techniques.
INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSES.
- PIPELINE CORROSION PROTECTION. Internal and External corrosion control processes and protection mechanisms. Methods of monitoring and control.
- PIPELINE REHABILITATION. From data gathering and analysis to rehabilitation organisation, control and methods.
- DC VOLTAGE GRADIENT TECHNOLOGY. An intensive technology transfer course to teach the correct way pipelines should be surveyed using this new powerful technology.
- SENIOR MANAGEMENT - CORROSION CONTROL STRATEGY Specifically for Senior Managers to improve their understanding of cost effective corrosion control.
