the safe and efficient operation of major transmission
pipe lines is an important issue for many stakeholders,
including pipeline operators, landowners, regulatory
bodies, national and local governments, and the general
public.
at rosen, we provide specialized engineering, integrity
assessment and data management services that support
operational decision-making.
the key aims for pipeline operators are to
• reduce downtime due to unforeseen events
• define cost-effective inspection plans and
inspection intervals
• avoid unnecessary repairs and interventions during
standard operation
• extend asset life without compromising the principles
of safe operation
these objectives are influenced by a range of legal and
financial factors, including
• compliance with legislation and company policies
• maximizing asset value and production targets
• operational life extension
• centralized approach for integrity management
the ultimate driver for us is to help our customers
balance these factors and make informed decisions to
ensure that they meet their business targets
while maintaining a safe and reliable asset base that
does not harm the environment.

REgulAtIONS
Codes and standards issued by regulatory bodies provide
guidance to pipeline operators on how to maintain the
integrity of their assets. rosen’s product and service port-
folio is aligned with core industry framework documents
and codes.
System definition and data gathering
rosen supports its clients in reviewing and implementing
their integrity programs down to the creation of integrity-
relevant procedures and processes.
threat assessment
adopting both qualitative and quantitative approaches,
we utilize the data and subject matter expertise of our
engineers and our clients to determine the presence of
potential threats along a pipeline route.
Risk analysis and inspection strategy
on the basis of an evaluation of potential threats and the
likely consequences of specific failure events, rosen
assists customers in implementing risk-reduction and
mitigation measures. as part of this service, we determine
the most cost-effective inspection strategy including
the most appropriate technology for assessing the
identified threats.
Action plan execution
in addition to our best-in-class in-line inspection services,
rosen offers further inspection measures that help
pipeline operators identify and verify threats. examples
are above-ground survey projects, geotechnical assess-
ments as well as remote sensing projects.
to optimize corrective measures based on inspection
findings, rosen provides follow-up analysis such
as fitness-for-service assessment and corrosion
growth studies.
unified Integrity management Process
Response to findings
rosen integrity specialists have extensive experience
in selecting the most appropriate rehabilitation method
for identified defects. in addition, we ensure that the
right data are collected during field verifications. the
information collected on site provides highly useful input
for assessing the quality and reliability of inspection
data and can additionally be used for further analysis.
Information analysis
rosen Business Consultants support the process of
reconciling integrity aspects with commercial
considerations. this reconciliation is achieved, for
example, by connecting our integrity systems to
sap and Maximo, resulting in a centralized approach
for the pipeline integrity Management system (piMs).
