A computer-implemented method, comprising: determining (124, 126) a category of a buried pipeline based on a compatibility with cathodic protection and a setup status of the buried pipeline, wherein the buried pipeline includes an external coating on an exterior surface of the buried pipeline; accessing streams of input data from a plurality of inspection tools comprising a close interval survey tool, an alternating current, current attenuation tool, an alternating current voltage gradient tool, and a direct current voltage gradient tool, wherein the plurality of inspection tools each are configured to monitor a respective operating condition of the buried pipeline, wherein the streams of input data encode one or more inspection tool modifiers that include one of: a soil resistivity measure, or a metal loss corrosion measure; analyzing the streams of input data from the plurality of inspection tools in a manner specific to the determined category of the buried pipeline to generate a classification under each inspection tool indicating a severity level of degradation of the external coating on the exterior surface of the buried pipeline, wherein the severity level is one of severe, moderate, or minor; and determining a prioritization schedule for maintaining the external coating on the exterior surface of the buried pipeline based on i) the one or more inspection tool modifiers, and ii) the classification under each inspection tool indicating the severity level of degradation of the external coating on the exterior surface of the buried pipeline, wherein the prioritization schedule is one of immediate action required, scheduled action further required, and suitable for monitoring. determining (124, 126) a category of a buried pipeline based on a compatibility with cathodic protection and a setup status of the buried pipeline, wherein the buried pipeline includes an external coating on an exterior surface of the buried pipeline; accessing streams of input data from a plurality of inspection tools comprising a close interval survey tool, an alternating current, current attenuation tool, an alternating current voltage gradient tool, and a direct current voltage gradient tool, wherein the plurality of inspection tools each are configured to monitor a respective operating condition of the buried pipeline, wherein the streams of input data encode one or more inspection tool modifiers that include one of: a soil resistivity measure, or a metal loss corrosion measure; analyzing the streams of input data from the plurality of inspection tools in a manner specific to the determined category of the buried pipeline to generate a classification under each inspection tool indicating a severity level of degradation of the external coating on the exterior surface of the buried pipeline, wherein the severity level is one of severe, moderate, or minor; and determining a prioritization schedule for maintaining the external coating on the exterior surface of the buried pipeline based on i) the one or more inspection tool modifiers, and ii) the classification under each inspection tool indicating the severity level of degradation of the external coating on the exterior surface of the buried pipeline, wherein the prioritization schedule is one of immediate action required, scheduled action further required, and suitable for monitoring.
