Below the surface strength: The key to pipeline integrity management

Image
With the aging of the energy infrastructure across broad regions and the ongoing expansion of pipeline networks, management of pipeline integrity has become a focal point for the safe and reliable operation of pipelines. This field is dedicated to making sure that the pipes that carry oil, gas and other dangerous substances are sound throughout their lifespan and environmentally secure. At the heart of it, integrity pipeline management  consists of a continuous process of pipeline system monitoring, evaluation and maintenance. Potential threats, such as corrosion, mechanical damage or material fatigue, can be detected and dealt with long before growing into serious failures by the means of advanced inspection technologies like smart pigs, ultrasonic testing, aerial surveillance, and so on. But pipeline integrity goes beyond just technical inspections. It contains analytics, risk modelling, and proactive maintenance scheduling. Today’s operators are leveraging machine learning and p...

Behind the easement: The power of a land acquisition manager

Considering the current race of construction towards becoming better, faster and agile, the profile of the land acquisition manager has gained more prominence. They sit at the intersection of the engineering, legal, and community dimensions of projects, reliably securing the property rights necessary for projects to move forward with the least commotion and the most economy. A land acquisition manager  negotiates with landowners, plans with surveyors and lawyers, and works within the constraints of a thicket of regulations. It is their knowledge and skill that can make or break whether a project stays on time or experiences any expensive delays. From utility line to transport corridor to pipeline route, linear infrastructure projects rise or fall on their capacity to gain access in a manner that is equitable, moral and legally defensible. Land acquisition is so much more than a transactional job. A successful land acquisition manager is a master relationship builder. They serve as...
