N2001 - NEXUS/TGP

NXUS DOT Pipeline Integrity Project

Tool Runs:

As part of NXUS's comprehensive integrity assessment of its pipeline system NXUS will be conducting cleaning and in-line inspection tool runs on various lines throughout its system.  As a result of these in-line inspections, certain locations could be identified for an investigation which could lead to possible reduction of capacity.  Should any of these investigations lead to a reduction of capacity, NXUS will post on the bulletin board as soon as it is known. 

NXUS utilizes specific ILI tools designed by vendors to inspect for a certain type of threat that may exist on the pipeline.  Depending on the type of the tool and in order to successful collect the data, the tool may need to be run a specific speed which determines the impact on pipeline capacity during the run.  Furthermore, each tool has a different size and length depending on the tool type and vendor.  Launcher and receivers, and other pipeline facilities may need to be modified in order to launch, receive and run the tool along the pipeline to ensure a successful run.  Occasionally, combination tools, which are tools utilized to investigate multiple threats simultaneously, do exist for various pipe sizes and vendors.  Since combinations do not exist for every pipe size or threat, there may be multiple tool runs needed for a particular segment which creates variability in the outage schedule timeframes.  The following list contains the more common tool types NXUS utilizes and associated threat that the tool generally inspects the pipeline for.  This is not an exhaustive list and there may be other exceptions for the types of threat each tool type looks for.

Listed below are the pipeline segments scheduled for cleaning and/or in-line inspection this year which will have an impact on operational capacity.  Please refer to the operational capacity matrix for any mainline capacity impacts.  Inspections which have meter impacts and/or other operational impacts are denoted with a footnote reference and details of the impacts are in the details below.
