Analyze pipelines for strain caused by unstable ground
It’s no secret that pipelines are critical infrastructure for many industries. Due to more frequent extreme weather events, pipelines that cross unstable ground can bend and deform under the effect of a landslide. This could release the pipeline’s transported product transported into the environment.
The inertial mapping surveys that provide the raw data for bending strains are just part of the story. You need robust analysis of that data to determine what level of strain is normal and what is cause for concern.
Active Strain Analytics optimizes that analysis to give owners and operators the full picture. Not just a snapshot.
Active Strain Analytics makes it easier
We developed this digital tool to help analysts better understand the strains their pipelines suffer.
Get the whole picture on bending strains along your pipeline infrastructure.
