How NIMA IM supports the asset integrity management cycle
Our digital platform, NIMA IM, supports the entire asset integrity management cycle, enabling operators to optimize the integrity of their assets. Each individual NIMA IM Workflow is designed to support operator staff in specific steps of the management process, providing targeted solutions for key operational challenges. However, the true value lies in the combination of these workflows, which collectively offer a holistic view of the asset. This comprehensive perspective allows operators to optimize the asset as a unified whole for greater efficiency and reliability.
Specific NIMA IM Workflow subscriptions and ROSEN’s complementary expert services are individually bundled to fulfill each operator’s unique requirements.
Safeguarding an asset’s integrity begins with effective risk assessment. The Pipeline Risk Management Workflow supports a systematic approach to identifying and mitigating risks associated with pipelines. It facilitates informed decision-making by incorporating advanced methodologies and leveraging critical information across various stages of the risk management process.
Enhance pipeline safety with effective risk management:
- Apply qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative* risk assessment methodologies, incorporating corporate risk rules and customized processes.
- Systematically identify, analyze, and manage risk for each pipeline segment.
- Evaluate on- and offshore pipelines (liquid and gas products).
- Determine and prioritize risk control measures to ensure pipeline safety, reliability, and efficiency.
- Generate inputs for network-wide risk metrics and integrity management program (IMP) optimization.
- Align with industry best practices and comply with specific regulatory requirements in risk management.

Pipeline cathodic protection (CP) management is a corrosion mitigation technique that prevents pipeline metals from deteriorating due to electrochemical reactions in their environment. The Pipeline CP Management Workflow ensures the efficient operation of cathodic protection systems and addresses both monitoring and optimization.
Ensure compliant cathodic protection management:
- Spatially align your CP data to support precise analyses.
- Undertake screening of CIPS data via QA of CIPS data sets, filtering of stray current interference effects, and application of scenario or operator specific protection and defect criteria.
- Comprehensively analyze your CP system condition using various above-ground survey data (e.g., CIPS, DCVG) alongside other inspection data such as ILI-reported anomalies.
- Compare historical and recent CIPS / CP data for the same pipeline section, for both temporal and scenario-based reviews.
- Apply CP performance simulations (e.g., changes to transformer rectifier) to support upgrades, performance reviews and intervention decisions.
Enhance your NIMA IM Workflow with the “Field Data Capture Apps” add-on subscription.
Pipeline Direct Assessment is a proactive, non-intrusive integrity management process used to evaluate and monitor the condition of pipelines without requiring excavation or in-line inspections. The Pipeline Direct Assessment Workflow oversees every stage of External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) for unpiggable pipelines, playing a crucial role in comprehensive pipeline integrity management.
Comprehensively manage all stages of External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) for unpiggable pipelines:
- Pre-assessment: Identify high-risk areas for corrosion through external corrosion susceptibility assessments and develop an indirect inspection plan.
- Indirect inspection: Use findings from pre-assessments and indirect inspection data to create a direct examination plan.
- Direct examination: Analyze field data and perform a detailed corrosion anomaly assessment to calculate remaining strength and acceptability for operation.
- Post-assessment: Derive corrective actions and determine the re-assessment intervals for each ECDA region segment based on most critical recorded anomalies.

Accurate assessment of pipeline anomalies is critical to preserving pipeline integrity and maintaining regulatory compliance. A structured approach enables operators to evaluate in-line inspection data and derive necessary actions. This NIMA IM Workflow leverages advanced assessment functionality and integrates multiple datasets, ensuring operators can comprehensively understand pipeline conditions, plan interventions and enhance long-term asset reliability.
Identify, analyze, and act on pipeline anomalies effectively:
- Assess the significance of your in-line inspection data in compliance with selected codes and standards.
- Identify defects that require immediate repair or detailed expert assessments (e.g., Level 2 and/or Level 3).
- Compare in-line inspection runs to calculate corrosion growth rates and model future repair and rehabilitation needs.
- Compile and visualize your NIMA IM assessment results for all anomaly types including expert findings.
- Visualize and review combined assessment results with supporting information (e.g., CP surveys, satellite imagery, risk evaluations) to develop and continuously update bespoke intervention plans based on all available data, local practicalities and budget cycles.
Best combined with “Pipeline Repair Optimization” Workflow.
Efficient repair planning is crucial for maintaining pipeline integrity while minimizing costs and operational disruptions. Smart planning tools allow operators to streamline repair processes, plan rehabilitation activities, and make data-driven decisions. This NIMA IM Workflow offers advanced optimization techniques to help prioritize repairs, allocate resources effectively, and ensure compliance with industry standards, ultimately improving the overall efficiency of pipeline maintenance operations.
Streamline pipeline repairs with smart planning tools:
- Review developed intervention plans.
- Generate pipeline repair plans, dig sheets, and in-field action lists.
- Optimize expenditures by comparing multiple repair plans through cost-benefit analysis.
