Assessment
Quantitative Risk Assessment
Probabilistic risk models for hazardous liquid pipelines and for non-DOT facilities, built on the Muhlbauer framework. Risk is reported as expected annual cost per segment and per mile-year, so integrity spending can be weighed against the exposure it actually retires.
Ten threat categories, measured inspection data taking precedence over estimates, and dedicated treatments for stress corrosion cracking, crack and fatigue growth, maximum operating pressure validation, and transient surge screening.
