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...
Case Study | Digitalisation
Since 2023, Aramco has partnered with CorrosionRADAR to transform how Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is managed at the global energy company.
Summary
The energy major was seeking a solution that would reduce CUI-associated risks and costs, address insulation and vapour-barrier defects early, and streamline future inspection planning.
Following implementation in early 2023, the impact was immediate. With more precise insights available, asset management processes became more targeted, and CUI hotspots were easier to identify.
What started as a small-scale project rapidly scaled, with CorrosionRADAR’s solution now delivering continuous CUI monitoring across 50% of the Ju’aymah site—supporting Aramco’s digitalisation strategy. The scale-up was driven by clear value: reducing CUI risk between inspection cycles and enabling more targeted, efficient scheduled inspections.
Scaling across the site
CUI monitoring has been deployed across various asset types such as a network of columns, refrigeration units and pipelines.
Perfomance Outcomes From Site-Wide Scaling:
Phase 1 – Establishing Integrity & Ensuring Quality (First 90 days)
- Early identification of moisture ingress sources
- Immediate Insulation Quality Assurance and Quality Control
- Sets the foundation for reliable long-term monitoring
Phase 2 – Continuous Monitoring & Insight Generation
- Persistent moisture detection
- Defect notifications raised
- Insulation deficiencies rectified
Phase 3 – Pre-T&I Optimisation (1 Year Before Turnaround)
- Data available for optimisation and prioritisation of inspection scope and planning – saving millions
- Supports safer, and more efficient operations
Testimonial
“The Ju’aymah NGL Fractionation now features the Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) monitoring solution by CorrosionRADAR, highlighting our commitment to rapid and impactful digital transformation.
