SEARCH TDW FEASIBILITY STUDIES Solutions / Non-Intrusive Inline Isolation / Feasibility Studies Feasibility studies help pipeline owners and operators determine the most viable and safest solutions for offshore interventions, including the specific application of SmartPlug® isolation technology and the SmartTrack™ pipeline pig tracking system. Based on the results of site visits, system data, and other input, feasibility studies describe the problem-solving options available to operators. For first-time technology users, the feasibility study also provides a primer about inline inspection tools and techniques. A typical feasibility study includes: Engineering analysis. Step-by-step methodology for technology deployment. Piggability assessment, including recommendations about pigging medium, flow control, and any adjustments that need to be made to the inline tool. Assessment to ensure permissible pipeline stresses are not compromised (relating to SmartPlug isolation operation, not general pipe stress capability). Budget. Schedule. Plans for mobilization and de-mobilization. FAQs: How long does it take to prepare a feasibility study? How soon will I have my results? A typical feasibility study for SmartPlug® isolation technology, for example, takes about six weeks to prepare. That includes a site visit by one of our engineers, if required. How will I receive my results? Most customers prefer to receive an electronic study report. Hard copy by mail is also available.
