NDT pipeline inspection for Oil and Gas industry

The Ultimate 3D Scanning Solutions for Surface Damage Assessment

The New VXintegrity software platform: Surface Damage Assessment Modernized

When pipeline operators look for an NDT service company, technology and quality of non-destructive testing services are key. In particular NDT technologies must help technicians perform inspections efficiently, without compromising on accuracy and highly reliable results.

Creaform has the most trusted NDT 3D scanning technology solutions for corrosion, denting (mechanical damage), and wrinkle analyses. Thanks to its 3D scanner bundle with VXintegrity – Pipeline software, service companies and pipeline operators can stick to planned budgets and timelines—all while ensuring pipeline integrity and public safety.

This unique 3D scanning technology and innovative software solution goes beyond standards and active regulations, offering fast field deployment, user-independent results, versatile geometry analysis, easy reporting, and a complete 3D visualization of internal and external surfaces.

CREAFORM’s 3D SCANNER BUNDLE WITH VXINTEGRITY – PIPELINE SOFTWARE: PROVEN NDT TECHNOLOGY FOR THE BEST QUALITY OF SERVICE

THE MOST ACCURATE PIPELINE ASSESSMENTS WITH NDT 3D SCANNERS

As the standard for portable metrology-grade 3D scanners, the HandySCAN 3D delivers accurate and repeatable results in all work conditions,

whether under direct sunlight or in harsh environments. Not only can service companies fully trust HandySCAN 3D’s reliable data but they can

also count on its speed to take measurements, deliver results, and complete inspection quickly and efficiently. The HandySCAN 3D is your go-to

NDT solution for pipeline inspections.

 

THE ULTIMATE 3D SCANNER FOR SURFACE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT

The MAX series offers the fastest and easiest 3D scanning experience for NDT technicians inspecting pipelines for various types of damage,

particularly corrosion. The MAX series is designed for measuring large objects, offering fast, metrology-grade accuracy for objects up to

15 metres, while retaining fine detail capture on smaller areas, with up to 75% fewer targets needed.

CORROSION

Unlike traditional pit gauges,VXintegrity – Pipeline has the capacity to measure both the internal corrosion (thanks to UT or interior 3D scanning if possible) and external corrosion (with 3D scanning) to get a complete 3D visualization of the damages for more detailed, in-depth analyses.
