Piping network

Managing a pipe network faces various challenges, quite similar to those of reservoirs, one of the most important often lies in the early detection of faults and the implementation of preventive measures. Explore how Stelar is proactively responding to critical challenges faced by industrial pipe networks.

Problems and challenges

Issues

  • The length of the networks makes the task of monitoring the health of pipe components complex.
  • Thinning and cracks are in places very difficult to prevent without a tracking system.
  • Components and sections are continuously replaced without adequate information being collected.
  • Inspection plans that take into account the right measurement points in the right places are rarely put in place.
  • Pressure piping is subject to several regulations.

Possible functions and actions

  • Overview of the pipe network
  • Qualification of sections by risk class
  • Assessment of defects according to a severity grid
  • Taking into account thickness data (NDT)
  • Management of recommended interventions by project
  • Management of intervention budgets according to risks
  • Centralization of inspection data and reports by asset
  • Classification of plans, materials, Tmin, components and others by asset
  • Network sectorization (GPS aerial view and data by sector)

Operational benefits

Form

The forms specifically developed for industrial buildings structure a detailed and directed approach for the various types of applications. This approach makes it possible to qualify the defects observed according to a predefined severity grid according to the type of material (concrete, wood, paint, coating or steel). The inspector will be able to document the various components in photos, text and the selection of predefined elements, in addition to issuing recommendations that will be validated by authorized engineers. The custom form tool will make it possible to structure information collections for the needs of various actors in your organization dedicated to maintaining buildings and infrastructures.

Severity grid

The defect severity grid is a decision support tool for qualifying defects based on the materials we find in a building. This applies mainly in the context of visual inspection. For example, for steel, we can observe and qualify surface corrosion, an absence of coating. The severity grid is combined with the risk matrix, which makes it possible to classify defects by level of risk for the integrity of the asset, the industrial building and its components.

Visualization of asset health

Knowing that their age is constantly evolving, Stelar allows you to visualize the health index of your building assets continuously. This global view of the building stock generated based on inspection results and quantitative and/or qualitative health parameters is the basis for sound asset management. Combined with the amount of recommended interventions, it is possible to project the investments of various projects for the maintenance or replacement of buildings and their components.

Scheduling

The interventions recommended to mitigate the risk of the various defects observed are prioritized by the organization according to the risk, cost, use, compliance and other factors made available on the platform. It is thus possible to project the investments of various projects to maintain or replace the asset and to update the status of the assets according to the work carried out.
