TDW Unveils New Inspection Reporting Software
Posted: 2013-1-7
T.D. Williamson (TDW), a world leader in pipeline services and equipment,
announced that it has developed and deployed a new proprietary inline
inspection reporting software known as Interactive Report 2013.
Designed with inline inspection (ILI) services customers in mind, Interactive
Report 2013 is a data visualization tool that makes it easy for users to filter and
view their pipeline inspection data, with the goal of helping them to more
intuitively assess where problem areas exist.
"This software makes inspection data more accessible than ever before," says
Ron Lundstrom, supervisor of software engineering for TDW. "It features a very
user-friendly Windows®-based environment that makes it easy to choose from a
variety of views, including interactive charts, graphs, tables and even a three-
dimensional pipe view."
A special "snapshot" feature enables users to save customized views of potential
trouble spots and share them with others for review or comment. Once the most
critical anomalies have been identified, creating a dig sheet is an automated
process.
No extensive knowledge or training is required to use Interactive Report 2013,
which will be included with delivery of all TDW inline inspection reports.
"One of the cornerstones of the TDW approach is customer commitment," says
Eric Rogers, vice president of global pipeline integrity for TDW. "This new
software is a perfect example of how committed we are to helping our customers
understand and optimize their assets."
Interactive Report 2013 continues a TDW tradition of introducing ground-
breaking inline inspection tools and technologies to help operators improve
pipeline integrity. SpirALL™ Magnetic Flux Leakage (SMFL) technology was
introduced in 2009, followed shortly by the first Multiple DataSet (MDS) platform,
which allows multiple data streams to be collected during a single inspection.
Founded in 1920, TDW delivers safe integrity solutions for onshore and offshore
applications. Experts provide hot tapping and STOPPLE® plugging, pipeline
cleaning, integrity inspection, pigging and non-tethered plugging, and pig
technology services for any pressurized pipeline system in the world.
