Accomplishments
Played a significant role in the development of several, multi-million dollar pipeline remediation projects as a result of pipeline integrity assessments
Completed an ILI interaction rules study to determine which set of interaction rules utilized by an ILI vendor's analysis software would more accurately interact corrosion defects by comparing the different datasets with actual field-measured anomaly data
Evaluated ILI surveys completed by multiple ILI vendors on the same pipeline segment, compared the ILI published results with actual field-measured anomaly data and presented the results to the respective vendors via MS PowerPoint and Excel
Significantly expanded the internal corrosion monitoring program at a large natural gas storage field with the strategic placement of corrosion coupons and other monitoring technologies
