Case Study: a major gas distribution utility in USA achieves full regulatory compliance and reduced field service costs with KANINI's DIMP pipeline risk management solution

Distribution Integrity Management of Pipelines for major gas distribution utility in USA

The client, a major gas distribution utility in the USA, faced a complex challenge in complying with new Department of Transportation regulations for pipeline integrity management. They needed a way to assess disparate datasets to identify and manage various risks across their network. The vendor, KANINI, developed a geospatial solution to address this regulatory problem.

KANINI implemented a Distributed Integrity Management of Pipelines (DIMP) system, which utilized a multi-layered geospatial map to perform comprehensive risk assessments and consequence analysis. This solution provided the utility with a total risk score for its assets, enabling focused inspections and proactive maintenance. The results from KANINI's work included a 20% reduction in field service costs, a 25% reduction in insurance liabilities, and full regulatory compliance.
