List
of Advantages:
- Complete
pipeline profile from a point of normal
cover on one bank of the river
to normal cover on the opposite bank.
- Positive pipeline identification and
profiling
of the specific pipeline
desired to be profiled. There is no
assurance that divers can provide
this information utilizing probe bars at
multiple parallel crossings in
zero visibility.
- The "One Pass" system is unaffected
by river
bottom currents and
inspection can be conducted generally
under more severe conditions than
diver type surveys.
- Fast and reliable, field operations
are
generally complete in less than
2 days for crossings under 3000 ft.(
950m.) Depending on clients
requirements.
- Accurate plan and profile of
pipelines and
cables, regardless of the
depth of cover. Depths of cover can be
determined to approximately 130
feet. The "One Pass" system is currently
the only reliable survey
method capable of inspecting drilled
crossings.
- No Pig needed. Location of
coating
defects or holidays can be ascertained.
- With accurate records of the pipeline
plan and
profile, results of
future inspections can be compared to
previous records to
ascertain:
-
Level
of potential risk damage to the pipeline as
a result of
bottom erosion trends which
may to suspended
pipeline spans.
-
Identification
of areas where pipelines have shifted in
position due to unstable river
bottom
soils.
- More
accurate estimation of the
cost of pipeline repairs.
- Cad (AutoCad) drawings are made
available to the
client shortly after
completion of field survey work. Often
results can be drawn up
overnight in critical situations.
- Drawings are tailored to the clients
needs and
and requirements. The
clients title block and style is used when
available.
- The system can be utilized from an
inflatable
craft on smaller
crossings.
- Air transportable, allowing
crews to
provide rapid response to critical
situations.
StarTrak can turn
around emergency inspections with enough
information
in the drawings to satisfy most client and
governmental agenies
requirements within 6 hrs after field work is
complete. This is
normally 2 "runs" over the waterway and minimal
QC. Full requirements
and Quality Control can then be fulfilled after
the emergency has
passed.
