Integrity Management and Risk Assessment

HCA Impact Analysis for Gas Lines

RiskFrame® HCA offers an integrated data management and analysis environment for class location and HCA analysis. Users can edit structure data describing the type and location of buildings and areas near the pipeline. Analyses are performed through a project manager that allows users to control, the type of analysis, the options for calculations and the pipelines to be analyzed. Results are displayed in summary form through to the detailed step by step results in tables integrated with a map.

HCA Impact Analysis for Liquid Lines

RiskFrame® Liquids HCA Analysis provides an analysis service using terrestrial Overland Spread™ and hydrological modeling to identify and locate pipeline segments that could impact a high consequence area. Three levels of impact analysis are considered which combine to provide a thorough, conservative approach to impact modeling. The results of these analyses provide a reproducible, justifiable and well documented process for identifying HCA segments. Segments are identified by the type of HCA that they impact. The three levels of analysis are defined as Direct Impact Analysis, Indirect Impact Analysis, and Potential Impact Analysis.

Risk Modeling

RiskFrame® Modeler allows users to model and prioritize risk using multiple data sets into a customizable risk modeling environment producing risk scores for dynamic segments along the pipeline. It uses customizable user-defined models to calculate a risk score as a standalone risk model, or it can be used to validate the results of legacy risk models.

Survey Analysis and Inspection Management

RiskFrame® Analyst provides powerful and easy query tools that analyze and identify critical pipeline defects from a range of internal and external inspection types. Dig planning is made easy by collecting features of interest into dig ranges and producing reports and support materials for field crews. And to complete the inspection cycle, reports from the field can be used to add observations to the shared pipeline database.

Integrity Data Sheets

RiskFrame® Data Sheets align, integrate and present the extensive data sets required for accurate risk assessment into a pipeline alignment sheet format.

Data Integration

RiskFrame® Data Loader and Data Alignment loads and aligns data to the pipeline database, bringing in a wide variety of formats and reference systems. When aligned and referenced, records from inline inspection runs, surface surveys, and from legacy data sources and spreadsheets are integrated into the common framework. Operators can analyze the integrated data, identifying and locating areas for further attention.
