Topic: Proportional hazard assessments for different pipeline coating types, used over the timeline from the 1900’s till now…

Synopsis: The company I am working for is over 100 years old. Over the years there have been acquisitions/takeover/spinouts of the company. This has resulted in inheriting multiple vintage pipeline systems with different coating types with poor historical records. As part of reducing risk in the system, efforts are being made to record the different coating types and determine their performance. I am currently in the process of studying the different coating types in order to determine their proportional hazards. These considerations will then be input into the company’s risk assessment model. This model is then integrated into the prioritization of inspection/maintenance/replacement work plans.
