CorrosionRADAR’s Monitoring Solution Selected to Support Dow’s Alberta Project
CorrosionRADAR’s data-led corrosion under insulation (CUI) monitoring solution has been selected to help protect critical insulated assets at Dow’s project in Fort...
Summary
At a major Welsh petrochemical site, CR:LR was deployed on a critical column to provide proactive integrity management for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI). The team sought visibility into asset condition to enable stronger reliability and smarter maintenance planning.
Continuous remote monitoring, led to the detection of moisture ingress that led to the onset of corrosion. This data provided clear evidence of breaches in the cladding, prompting a maintenance work order for targeted repairs.
Challenge
The site had firsthand experience of how insulation performance affects asset integrity, having previously carried out major CUI-related repairs. With conventional checks offering limited insight between inspections. The key challenge was that traditional inspections offered no early warning of moisture ingress, the trigger for CUI, leaving the integrity team to react only after damage had occurred.
Solution
Visual Inspection Confirmed Breaches in the Cladding at the Exact Locations Identified by CR:CLARITY
Implementation
- CR:LR was deployed for continuous column monitoring, providing asset visibility, change alerts, and a complete performance history.
- Technicians used rope access to install corrosion and moisture sensors in a helical formation, ensuring coverage of critical and high-risk areas.
- After re-insulation with mineral wool, the system began tracking asset health, validating insulation and cladding effectiveness.
- The deployment has empowered the site with data-driven intelligence via the CR:CLARITY platform, enabling a shift from reactive repairs to a proactive, cost-effective integrity management strategy.
Outcome
- Recent observations indicated that moisture could still become trapped beneath insulation leading to a damp environment.
- The data showed a direct correlation between initial moisture detections and subsequent corrosion activity, pinpointing specific locations where the integrity of the asset was at risk.
- As a direct result, a maintenance work order was raised to carry out targeted repairs, preventing escalation and avoiding a much larger, more costly intervention.
- This demonstrated the value of predictive data in supporting informed, cost-effective asset management decisions.
