SoundPrint AFO continuous monitoring technology helps utilities prevent the kind of catastrophic pipeline failures that make headlines. However, failures on high-risk assets aren’t the only concern for pipeline owners. Monitoring data can also help utilities better understand risk today and into the future to control operating costs and improve customer service. Here’s five ways SoundPrint AFO can deliver significant value for pipelines without a history of problems or a lower consequence of failure.

While metallic rising mains have been historically difficult to manage, a risk-based approach increases confidence in the condition of the pipeline.

Pure Technologies partnered with a southeastern U.S. utility to inspect a 24-inch potable water main in late 2015. The team inspected 9 miles (14 km) of the critical pipeline with the inline PipeDiver® platform.

Collecting condition data is critical for proactive pipeline management. Being able to make effective decisions on that data is just as important. Learn how advanced structural analysis helps utilities get more out of their inspection data.

Despite its high strength, steel has a propensity to dent, buckle, corrode or crack when exposed, all risks to the integrity of a pipeline. In order to identify defects, proactive pipeline inspections are necessary to avoid failures, leaks or ruptures. One way of validating pipeline integrity is the use of Direct Assessment.

Pipeline damage can happen even with a robust integrity program in place. Third-party damage during excavation, natural disasters, and even material defects from manufacturing can put your pipeline at risk.

Computational pipeline monitoring (CPM) is legislated on most pipelines in North America. While these systems are crucial in maintaining the integrity of a pipeline, they only operate at roughly 2-3% of throughput, and have a theoretical limit of 1% of throughput due to the error tolerance for meters.

While leak detection and inline inspection (ILI) are different areas of pipeline integrity, the use of inline leak detection tools can support ILI results.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to inspecting critical pipelines. Utilities should carefully compare technologies to determine how they meet your operational and project delivery needs as well as your decision-making goals. Here are four key considerations utilities should evaluate when choosing the right tool for a condition assessment project.

Pure Technologies' Spectrum XLI technology is deployed on autonomous boats to accurately measure depth of cover, depth of water and elevation profiles.

Utilities can predict the future condition of their pipelines and estimate when specific pipes should be reinspected or considered for repair or replacement. The ability to forecast helps utilities better plan and budget for pipeline maintenance in the coming years.

Pure Technologies' SmartBall platform can ensure product containment beyond the detection limit of any other LDS. In this blog, we’ll explore five ways this tool benefits an integrity management program by providing complete confirmation of containment.

Water is rarely a first consideration in data center planning, but it has long-term impacts on the viability of site operations. Ann Perreault explains why this is becoming more critical now, and what it means for how data centers are planned, built, and supported as AI demand grows.

The operability of critical valves is essential to control a water system and ensure system reliability. Critical valves control vital water transmission lines – the backbone of any water system. Operable critical valves reduce the consequences when large diameter pipeline failures occur.

Finding a leak quickly helps mitigate the impact of releases on people, property, and the environment. Pipeline operators can detect and locate leaks with high precision using Pure Technologies' SmartBall® platform.

Meet Brian Jo, Senior Manager of Product Engineering, and learn about what's driving the next generation of condition assessment technology at Xylem.

Leak detection is a key water loss control strategy, but the benefits don’t stop with water savings. Utilities can also improve the reliability of their network and gain confidence in the location of their buried pipelines with Xylem’s leak detection technologies and services.

A proactive leak detection strategy plays an important role in any asset management program. It allows utilities to obtain the general condition of their mains, since a leak not only represents a real water loss, but can also indicate the potential for pipeline failure.

Behind the successful inspection of prestressed concrete pipelines lies a crucial process — calibration. This blog pulls back the curtain on calibration, revealing how it ensures precise quantification of wire breaks and leads to more reliable electromagnetic inspection results.

Greer CPW, the public utility serving Greer, South Carolina, piloted nanobubble technology to reduce winter foaming and heavy chemical use at its wastewater treatment plant. Working with Xylem, Moleaer, and Black & Veatch, the utility eliminated defoaming and settling chemicals, improved stability, and saved an estimated $210k–$290k annually.

Join us onsite for a day in the life of a PipeDiver inspection with pressurized insertion and extraction. See how the team uses specialized standpipes to launch and remove PipeDiver from a live pipeline without disrupting service.

Obtaining actionable condition insights helps utilities prevent sudden and high-consequence PCCP failures. But is your asset management plan equipped to prevent tomorrow’s failures? Explore three ways you can ensure PCCP assets operate safely over the long term.

Three real-world examples show how utilities and industries are strengthening water security through water reuse, resilient infrastructure, and smart water technologies. From Los Angeles to Washington state to the Netherlands, Xylem customers are modernizing water systems to meet growing demand.
