| Description |
The objective was to
investigate the feasibility of managing data from pipeline inspections and to determine
how valuable the inspection data is to evaluate the overall integrity of the pipeline
system. The results of this study aided in the development of effective inspection
programs for individual pipeline systems of any age, dimension, control, etc. Methods for
preventing impending failures through early detection were aided by the development of a
working model of a pipeline database and techniques for the manipulation of simulated
inspection information. The project developed efficient inspection management programs to
determine the current adequacy or need for clarification of MMS's pipeline inspection
regulations. |
