Case study / Mining

Gold mining operation

Integrity assessment of slurry transport pipelines in a remote area in South America

01 / The challenge

What needed to change.

A mining operation needed a reliable overview of the remaining wall thickness across its slurry pipeline network. Abrasive material transport can accelerate internal wear and increase the risk of leakage, unplanned shutdowns and production loss.

02 / Survey4X scope

A structured approach.

  • Pipeline and measurement-point registration
  • Ultrasonic wall thickness measurements
  • Structured condition recording
  • Digital evidence and traceability
  • Identification of critical locations
  • Maintenance prioritisation support

03 / The outcome

Information to work with.

The project created a consistent digital baseline for pipeline condition, making it possible to identify areas requiring attention and support future comparison during repeat inspections.
