A Pipeline Integrity Management System (PIMS) is a comprehensive, data-driven framework designed to manage the integrity and reliability of pipeline assets throughout their full lifecycle. Fulkrum’s PIMS solution integrates advanced technologies, risk assessment methodologies, and digital tools to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient pipeline performance.
Integrated Asset Data Management
- Consolidate inspection results, operational data, maintenance records, and risk assessments.
- Cloud-based dashboards enable real-time monitoring, collaboration, and reporting in a unified platform.
Risk-Based Pipeline Assessment
- Prioritise inspection and maintenance activities using risk models aligned with industry standards such as API 1160 and ASME B31.8.
- Analyse pipeline-specific degradation mechanisms, including corrosion, cracking, and more.
Advanced Inspection & Monitoring Technologies
- Employ inline inspection tools, remote sensing, and robotic devices for accurate defect detection.
- Integrate data from ultrasonic testing, magnetic flux leakage (MFL), and other NDT methods.
Lifecycle and Compliance Management
- Forecast remaining useful life and degradation trends to optimise repair and replacement planning.
- Facilitate regulatory compliance with structured documentation and audit-ready reports.
