MAINTENANCE METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR FLUID CONTAINMENT ASSETS

1 . A method for maintaining a fluid containment asset, comprising:

configuring a first schedule having a first work task on the fluid containment asset for a first project;

performing the first work task on the fluid containment asset based on the first schedule;

measuring a work task performance for the first work task performed based on the first schedule;

collecting first work task data corresponding to the first work task performed;

building a first predictive model based on at least the first work task data;

configuring a second schedule using the first predictive model, wherein the second schedule has a second work task for a second project; and

performing the second work task on the fluid containment asset based on the second schedule.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

collecting second work task data corresponding to the second work task performed; and

building a second predictive model based on the first work task data and the second work task data.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the fluid containment asset is a pipe.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first predictive model is based on the first work task data, historical data, known task attribute data, or the combinations thereof

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first work task is inspection, maintenance or repair of the fluid containment asset.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the first work task is thickness monitoring.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first work task is hot tapping.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second work task is thickness monitoring.

9 . A method for maintaining a fluid containment asset, comprising:

a) performing a destructive testing (DT) on the fluid containment asset to perform a DT test on a portion of the fluid containment asset;

b) performing a non-destructive testing (NDT) on the fluid containment asset to collect NDT data;

c) measuring operational parameters for the fluid containment asset to collect operational parameter data;

d) compiling an asset data set from the DT data, the NDT data and the operational parameter data;

e) processing the asset data set to determine condition of the fluid containment asset; and

f) performing at least one of the following:

i) determining a corrosion rate on the fluid containment asset,

ii) determining a useful life of the fluid containment asset,

iii) recommending an inspection frequency,

iv) recommending an inspection type;

v) recommending a repair service;

vi) recommending a code action; or

vii) building a predictive model.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the fluid containment asset is a pipe.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the destructive testing is a hot tap.

12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the non-destructive testing is an ultrasonic testing, or an X-ray tangential testing.

13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the operational parameters are selected from: a pressure in the fluid containment asset, a temperature in the fluid containment asset, vibration in the fluid containment asset, flow rate in the fluid containment asset, a temperature of the soil and/or air in contact with the outer diameter (“OD”) of the fluid containment asset, a pressure of the soil and/or air in contact with the OD of the fluid containment asset, a humidity of the soil and/or air in contact with the OD of the fluid containment asset, and the type of soil in contact with the OD of the fluid containment asset.
