About the Pipeline inspection checklist

Pipeline inspections involve a thorough assessment of the pipeline’s physical condition, performance, and compliance with standards. This pipeline inspection checklist gives you and your team an organized framework for standardizing assessments and documenting findings. Use it to simplify your workflow and improve compliance while boosting efficiency!

Ensuring integrity and safety with a pipeline inspection checklist

This checklist is a comprehensive tool for evaluating the condition of pipelines. It serves as a guide for inspectors to systematically check various aspects of the pipeline infrastructure, including its structural integrity, corrosion protection measures, operational efficiency, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

You’ll find prompts about the pipeline coatings, cathodic protection systems, leak detection systems, valve and fitting conditions, pressure testing records, and documentation of maintenance and repairs.

With the checklist, you can maintain the integrity and safety of pipeline systems. By conducting regular inspections using the checklist, operators can identify potential issues, such as corrosion, leaks, or mechanical damage, and take prompt corrective actions.

A step-by-step guide to using a pipeline inspection checklist

This tool allows you to capture essential data while saving time. Here’s how you can implement it effectively:

  1. Customize the checklist to your needs. Tailor the template to match your specific pipeline system and inspection requirements. Remove irrelevant sections or add details unique to your operations, such as specific corrosion control methods or materials used.
  2. Plan inspections and assign responsibilities. Before heading to the field, set clear expectations for the inspection. Use Lumiform to assign the checklist to yourself or team members and provide any additional instructions.
  3. Collect detailed data in real-time. During the inspection, use a mobile device to fill out the checklist on-site. Take photos, add notes, or attach files to document findings thoroughly.
  4. Review and take action. Once you’ve completed the checklist, review it for any issues requiring immediate attention. If you need to conduct repairs or maintenance, create action tasks directly in the app and assign them to the right team members.
  5. Track progress and analyze results. Use Lumiform’s analytics tools to identify trends and recurring issues. This helps you make informed decisions and improve future inspections, keeping pipelines safe and working properly.

Your pipeline inspection process, made smarter

Streamline your pipeline inspections with a professional checklist designed to save you time and eliminate guesswork. With prompts for corrosion control, maintenance checks, and atmospheric evaluations, this template keeps your inspections thorough and consistent from start to finish. Start using the template to standardize reports, document findings clearly, and take actionable steps to address issues

Are each bared test lead wire and bared metallic area (at point of connection) coated with an electrically insulating material compatible with the pipe coating and insulation on the wire?
Remedial Measures
For each segment of transmission line with localized pitting to a degree where leakage might result, is the section of pipeline replaced, repaired, or have the operating pressure reduced?
For distribution lines with a remaining wall thickness less than 30 percent of the nominal wall thickness, do we replace or repair the pipe?
For distribution lines, do we replace or repair pipe with localized corrosion pitting?

Frequently asked questions

What are common signs of pipeline corrosion to look out for during an inspection?

Look for rust, discoloration, or flaking on the pipe surface, which can indicate external corrosion. Bulges or dents may suggest internal corrosion weakening the structure. Pay close attention to areas near joints, welds, or supports where moisture and debris tend to pile up.

What tools are commonly used in pipeline inspections?

Common tools include ultrasonic testing devices to measure wall thickness, borescopes for internal inspections, and coating thickness gauges. Infrared thermography can detect leaks or changes in temperature, while magnetic particle testing identifies cracks or flaws. For buried pipelines, you might use ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to locate and inspect without excavation.

How can I address atmospheric corrosion?

Focus on cleaning and recoating exposed sections regularly. Use coatings designed for your environment, such as epoxy or polyurethane, to protect against moisture and oxygen. Pay extra attention to areas where the pipe transitions from soil to air, as these spots are prone to corrosion.
