Electromagnetic transducer technology in-line inspections are sufficiently sensitive to detect crack-like features as part of pipeline integrity management. Gas and liquid pipeline operators are ...

Full-blown process excursions that affect every wafer are comparatively easy for fabs to detect and fix. However, “onesie-twosie,” lower-volume excursions can go unresolved for months or even years.

For electric utilities and grid operators, uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS, or drones) are a force multiplier. Given a bit of special training and equipment, a small number of utility workers can keep ...

The integration of LiDAR technology into power line inspection has revolutionised the monitoring and maintenance of critical energy infrastructures. By utilising laser-based remote sensing, engineers ...

GDF Suez's wholly owned gas transmission system operator, GRTgaz, completed its first project with GE Oil & Gas' New MagneScan in-line inspection system, a next-generation magnetic flux leakage device ...

Power transmission line inspection robotics have emerged as a pivotal innovation in the maintenance and monitoring of critical energy infrastructure. By automating routine inspections, these systems ...

Bottom line: NDT is the primary means to find, size, and monitor defects in pipelines without taking them out of service, enabling risk-based decisions that prevent leaks and ruptures. I.I Purpose — ...

Inspecting and monitoring long-distance transmission lines has always been both costly and dangerous for utilities. Networks that stretch across remote, rugged terrain make traditional methods like ...
