Free Span Analysis
In on-bottom roughness analysis, the location of overspan along pipeline route can be predicted during as-
laid, hydrotest, flooded and operation case based on finite element simulation in ABAQUS.
Span level 3 is an analysis that using collaboration of Abaqus & DNV Fat Free to get more accurate fatigue
life of span at specific location. Multi-mode criteria is used in this analysis

HP/HT Stress Analysis Onshore Buried Pipeline
Buried pipeline can be modeled from anchor to anchor based on XYZ data that generated from survey or GIS. The
output of this analysis is stress & strain result, reaction force at anchor block and support, and pipe displacement
along pipeline route.

Stress Monitoring/Measurement
A strain measurement is a process to measure level of strain (or stress)
on an object.
The level of strain/stress can be used to predict the integrity of the object.
3 main types of strain measurement based on strain sensor :
Metal Strain Sensor Photoelastic Sensor
Fiber Optic Sensor (Fiber Bragg Grating)

Processing and Displaying
A fiber optic sensor is a sensor that uses
optical fiber as sensing element
Fiber optic cable line is used to transmit
information/data from one place to
another by sending pulses of light
through an optical fiber.

Benefits of Measurement Data
- Used for FEM model verificaton and or updating
- Indicate real trend behavior
