Changes to Inspection in Progress (OIE and Tech)

Under the Inspection in Progress home page for OIE and Tech roles, a new column ‘Remove’ has been added to the end of the grid (depending on your screen resolution you may have to scroll to view it). If applicable, a bin icon will appear to allow the user to delete the inspection.

Note that this function:

• is only available for Adhoc Inspections

• only available to the user that created the inspection, or a System Administrator
  To use the function simply click on the icon. A warning will be displayed asking the user to confirm

  they want to delete the inspection.

  Use with caution, the data cannot be recovered.

REVISION 2.7.0 - JULY 2021

Introduction

This revision will enhance the CUI workpack creation and inspection process, as well as adding a CUI Register for improved visibility at line, vessel, and feature levels.

This release note will highlight changes to the existing software. Steps/sections that are not mentioned in this document will work in the same way as the current software.

Changes to Equipment Data and Inspection Codes

Pipework

The following fields, previously pulled from the associated Process Stream, have been added to Pipework. Population of these fields will be carried out at a later date:

• Operating Temperature Min

• Operating Temperature Max

• Operating Pressure Min

• Operating Pressure Max

Vessels

The field Insulation Purpose is now mandatory. For all vessels where this was not populated this has been set to Unknown.

A new optional field Platform has been added.

Inspection Results

For inspections where Insulation Condition was collected the option Not Insulated has been changed to Not Required.

CUI Inspection Process

Workpack Creation (WPC)

Details

In this section, the WPC must select the workpack type which will dictate the types of inspection that can be carried out within that workpack. Once saved, this cannot be changed.

• Regular – GVI, CVI, IVI, BOR, RAD, UT, IRIS, DPI, MPI EC, Other

• CUI – Therm, Pre-strip CVI, Post-strip CUI, UT, RAD, Reinstate CVI, Other

Item Selection - CUI

• Pipework
  • Only Lines or Features of Lines where the Insulation Purpose field is not set to NI or is blank will appear for selection
• Vessels
  • Only Areas and Features of Vessels where the insulation Purpose is not equal NI or is blank will appear for selection *

Technique Allocation and Review - CUI

• Pipework

  • For Visual type inspections, the user can select a line/s and, optionally, any feature of those selected lines

  • For all other types (NDT) they must select 1 feature

• Vessels

  • For Visual type inspections the user can select an area/s and, optionally, any feature of those selected areas

  • For all other types (NDT) they must select at least 1 feature

Technique Allocation and Review - Regular

A minor change has been made here for all Visual type inspections and the option to have these only containing Features has been removed. Therefore, these can be created at:

• Line level only

• Line and Feature level

Inspection Awaiting Implementation (OIE)

Currently, apart from UT, the new CUI Inspection techniques cannot be allocated to Tablet and must be input using the web software. This functionality will follow shortly.

* Where the Insulation Purpose of a Vessel is Not Insulated the WPC will see no rows in the grid

Inspection in Progress (Tech and OIE)

There are no changes to the inspections allocated to a Regular workpack, as well as UT, RAD and Other under CUI workpacks.

Reporting

The Inspection Reports are updated to show the new fields collected in the process above.

CUI Register

Under the main Registers option on the main menu, CUI Register will be available to users that have been granted access to it. Please note that this Register is gathering a lot of information and can take a while to load.

The register is a grid of all active pipework and vessels where Insulation Condition is not blank or set to NI (Not Insulated). You can drilldown on each Vessel/Line to see further detail at Feature level. If you are doing this it is a good idea to right-click the link and open in a new tab – this will save reloading the main CUI Register when you want to return to it.

REVISION 2.6.4 – MAY 2021

Under the Asset Register section a new tab has been added to the registers for Pipework, Vessels and Structures. This tab will display a grid of wall thickness results, that have been recorded from UT and RAD inspections, against all features for that piece of equipment.

REVISION 2.5.0 - LATE APRIL 2021

Inspection in Progress (OIE / Tech)

UT, IRIS, DPI, MPI – Header and Equipment

A change has been made to this section for the following inspection types:

• UT
• IRIS
• DPI
• MPI

In line with the Tablet app, Header and Equipment details are now required to be input prior to recording inspection results when using the web-based application. The user will be asked to confirm the Equipment details each time they access the inspection tab. The Header and Equipment details will not be displayed in subsequent screens in the workflow but will be added to the Inspection Reports once generated.

For any of these inspection types that are carried out on the tablet, once synced, the Header details will be displayed on the web but the Equipment tab will remain hidden from view.

REVISION 2.4.0 -MID APRIL 2021

• New Grids - Fixing columns. As per the previous release, we are continuing to roll out the new grid (tables) format, which is now available in Workpack Creation.

• In all new grids we have added a function for the user to fix the position of columns so that they always appear on the screen even when you scroll to the right. Users can fix one or more columns to either the left or right side. Please note that this function is temporary so if you refresh the screen or close it and return to it, then these settings are not retained.
  

• To Fix a column right-click the column heading, select ‘Fix’ then ‘To the left’ or ‘To the right’.

• Search Parameters - Another feature (that was already implemented but we forgot to highlight) was that users can specify certain search parameters in the free text section by clicking on the looking glass.

• Workpack Creation (WPC) - We have also updated the Workpack Creation screens for the WPC role. As well as adding in the new grids for Item Selection and Technique Allocation sections, we have improved the interaction between the various sections.

• Also, in the Information section, if the user attempts to leave the section without saving any unsaved data a warning will be displayed at the top of the screen.

REVISION 2.3.6 - EARLY APRIL 2021
