PIPELINE INTEGRITY
The PIMSlider suite of software applications is a
comprehensive graphical multi-user software tool that
processes
pipeline,
population
and
environmental
information in an integrated way for all phases of the
Pipeline Integrity Management process. The PIMSlider tool
provides vital information at the right time for businesscritical decisions related to designing maintenance
programmes, inspection strategies, investment for repairs
or replacements, or demonstrating the integrity of the
pipeline.
The most important objective of any pipeline operator is the
preservation and licence to operate a safe and reliable pipeline
system. Without the right information or tools to process
information, a company cannot make sound strategic decisions on
the state of any part of their pipeline network.
Whether is comes down to designing maintenance schemes and
inspection strategies, or demonstrating the integrity of the grid, IT
systems form a vital part of the overall management of the
network to provide auditable results.

PIPELINE DATA INTEGRITY

Pipeline operators require vast amounts of data in order to manage
the everyday activities related to pipeline integrity. In order for key
decisions to be made effectively, gathering and interpreting of
correct data becomes an important task. The best way to solve this
problem is to transfer this data to a single uniform relational
database. Storing this data in one place and one clearly defined
format allows connections to be created (for different pieces of
data) for the same pipeline object.
With this information available, the operator can analyse the
relationship between the different facts and figures with the object,
and make appropriate decisions related to pipeline inspections,
repair plans and preventative measures.

Full integration of all pipeline data

Supports manual input, storage, editing and removal of all

data

Data can be accessed by a completely integrated synchronised

graphical user interface such as table, map and graph view

Data received from various sources can be presented in one

view in order to assist the user in the analysis of pipeline
issues

The pipeline and the features on the pipeline (valves,

casings, crossings and defects) are stored as individual
objects. All objects have an adjustable set of object specific
attributes

All pipeline construction information, operational data

(pressure, temperature), graphic images or maps, photos,
texts, multimedia documents, pig run and excavation data,
surveys, cost figures, object maintenance and repair is stored
