AC Mitigation PowerTool by Technical Toolboxes is a specialized software solution designed to analyze and mitigate pipeline corrosion caused by alternating current (AC) interference from nearby powerlines. It provides engineers and pipeline operators with advanced modeling capabilities, geospatial integration, and compliance-ready reporting tools to ensure pipeline safety and integrity.

Features

• Comprehensive Analysis:
  • Identifies AC voltages, corrosion risks, steady-state, and fault conditions.
  • Accounts for depth of cover for each section, including HDD road and water crossings.
  • Analyzes Barnes measurements and soil resistivity changes.
  • Models coating stress voltages and step, touch, and surface potentials.
  • Designs mitigation strategies to reduce AC interference.
• Geospatial Integration:
  • Integrates with ESRI GIS to import GIS/Shape, KMZ, KML, geodatabase, and latitude/longitude data.
  • Provides accurate geospatial reference of pipeline assets with related AC data.
• Reporting & Compliance:
  • Generates reports on AC interference with a single click.
  • Centralized data storage supports traceable, verifiable, complete (TVC) data aligned with PHMSA Mega Rule requirements.
• Industry Standards:
  • Developed based on research from the Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI).
  • Meets corrosion analysis standards specified by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE).
• Enterprise Plus Package:
  • Offers project consulting with advanced functionality and expert validation for fast, reliable results.

Benefits

• Enhanced Safety: Proactively identify and mitigate corrosion risks to protect pipeline infrastructure.
• Efficiency: Replace manual spreadsheet calculations with automated, integrated analysis.
• Accuracy: Leverage GIS data for precise modeling and location-based insights.
• Compliance: Ensure alignment with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Scalability: Suitable for small to enterprise-level pipeline operations.
