Inspections generate an enormous amount of information. Interpreting and analyzing it allows us to transform information into knowledge. Knowledge enables smarter decision-making.

Process Templates
NIMA provides flexibility. An extensive base library of Process Templates cover most needs. The Process Template Builder enables bespoke visualizations and analyses.
The NIMA Process Templates are developed by ROSEN’s in-house integrity experts with methods proven in the delivery of hundreds of integrity assessments per year. Our experts can create customized Process Templates to cover your individual needs.

Rapid, intuitive and interactive visualization of in-line inspection results to get an overview of what has been reported, and where. Includes all anomalies and references (valve, tees and other fittings) and provides tables, charts and maps.

Dynamic linear and spatial alignment of multiple data sets to convey complex information to the user. The user can view the entire pipeline at once or zoom into specific areas to enable the diagnosis of potential integrity problems where multiple contributing factors may be present. Various data visualization formats are available, including maps, tables and charts.

Quickly and reliably assess the acceptability and safe remaining ligament of metal-loss features reported by ILI in accordance with industry standards and best practice (ASME B31G [Level 1a & 1b], DNVGL-RP-F101 [Part B], Shannon, Kastner, NG-18). Display results in comprehensive graphs and produce summary listings.

Quantify corrosion growth by comparing two in-line inspection (ILI) metal loss feature lists with “pit-to-pit” matching, plus segment the pipeline and assign safe characteristic corrosion growth rates in accordance with industry best practice. Visualize the results in clear intuitive charts and tables.

Follow industry good practice and identify corrosion features that may grow to an unacceptable size within a selected time period using previously estimated corrosion growth rates (CGRs). Provide the inputs required for detailed repair planning and the definition of reinspection intervals. Display results in interactive charts and tables.

Rapid and intuitive qualitative risk assessment of pipelines to aid in understanding their condition and generating comprehensive integrity management plans. Uses the widely respected Asset Health and Criticality Approach, which is based on conditional statements in order to allocate the system to the relevant risk classification.

Semi-quantitative estimation of pipeline risk values and classification. Results aid in understanding the pipeline’s risk of failure, identifying areas of elevated risk, drilling down to assess root causes, and generating comprehensive mitigation and integrity management plans.

Manage the integrity of storage tanks following industry best practices by defining inspection intervals and next inspection dates in accordance with API 581-2016. Includes estimation of corrosion rates, calculation of probability of failure and Level 1 consequence analysis.

Risk-based inspection assessment for pressure vessels and piping in accordance with API RP581-2016, based on corrosion growth rates and identified damage mechanisms.

Confirm that your cathodic protection system complies with industry recommendations and identify any points requiring improvement by reviewing, combining and analyzing above-ground survey data from CIPS, DCVG and Test Post surveys.

Generate a detailed and integrated assessment of your pipeline's external corrosion prevention system by overlaying and visualizing all available above-ground survey data, and other relevant information.

Detailed analysis of the soil characteristics along your pipeline to better understand corrosion potential and protection requirements. Categorize soil aggressiveness, and segment your pipeline based on soil properties such as pH, water content, sulfates, sulfides, chlorides, etc. in accordance with German standard DIN 50929/3.

Detailed analysis of the soil characteristics along your pipeline to better understand corrosion potential and protection requirements. Categorize soils, and segment your pipeline based on soil resistivity.

Your Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) system provides vital protection against external corrosion. Confirm that it is working effectively, and identify any point of weakness by reviewing the operational condition using historical data.

Delivering traceable, verifiable and complete (TVC) line-pipe material records with a representation of the "pipeline DNA" giving the strength and grade of each pipe joint and bend, plus wall thickness and joint length. Visualizations of independent populations of line pipes are provided together with map views to assist in further analyses.

Crack detection inspections use complex sensitive technology and provide vast data quantities. Quickly confirm that the results meet vital asset integrity management requirements by visualizing EMAT crack detection in-line inspection data in easy-to-understand charts. Verify that the data quality meets your needs, and identify issues that may affect integrity decisions.

Generate a high-level excavation and repair plan for a single or combined set of sentenced pipeline inspection data in accordance with a defined repair matrix, repair rules and user criteria. Create multiple plans where different repair methods could be evaluated in order to tailor the plan to suit the individual defect population and distribution.

Ensures regulatory compliance by quickly identifying, from any ILI report, the applicable anomaly response times according to PHMSA’s integrity management requirements in either 49 CFR 192 or 49 CFR 195. Results support the user in their repair planning and regulatory compliance processes.

Ensures regulatory compliance by quickly identifying, from any ILI report, all anomalies that may be classified as non-compliant with CSA Z662-19 Clause 6.3.4.2 and 10.10, based on the output of the FFS | Immediate Assessment process template. Results support the user in their repair planning and regulatory compliance processes.

Simple and effective visualization and review of bending strain areas measured by IMU against reported deformations (e.g. dents, ovality, wrinkles), girth weld locations and satellite imagery. Results provide the user with the information necessary to prioritize bending strain areas and determine what further actions may be required.
