Making pipelines safer.
We began the development of the Spectrum XLI system to address the shortcomings
of legacy survey and inspection systems that existed at that time. We essentially
wanted to make pipelines safer by developing better inspection equipment and that
is exactly what we did.
When it comes to mapping the location and performing aboveground inspections
of buried pipelines, there is nothing Spectrum XLI cannot do better than any of the
legacy technologies. Not only did we improve on every mapping and inspection
technique we integrated, but we also designed the system so that they could all
be conducted concurrently, mostly in one pass, resulting in the most efficient and
complete inspection possible.
Not only is Spectrum XLI non-intrusive to the environment, but it has the greatest and
most complete data compilation available.
We are very proud of our product and offer training on the theory, technology and
operation of the Spectrum XLI system. We cant wait to show you everything this
system has to offer. Best of all, its extremely cost-effective: combining surveys means
fewer mobilizations and fewer crews to get the job done and the analysis and
reporting is both customized and automated so that your results are immediately
available through the easiesttouse software in the industry.
Can you really afford not to utilize the most user-friendly, comprehensive system
available on your pipeline? Let us show you how Spectrum XLI is the solution youre

looking for. Call today and get your inspections working for you.

What is Spectrum XLI

1.2 The History


In the year

2000, we began the development the Spectrum XLI system. By 2003 we

had successfully developed and integrated a locating and GPS/ GIS mapping system that
immediately surpassed everything else on the market. The original system also allowed
SONAR to be connected to the system to allow dynamic pipe and cable mapping on fast
moving rivers and deep water crossings.
We didnt stop there; by 2004 we had an AC coating inspection system that was easier to
use and more reliable than anything the industry had seen before.
In 2005 we added gas leak detection to the system, allowing a single survey to: locate,
map, measure depth of cover, conduct leak detection and a coating survey at the same

time, in one pass over a pipeline. By 2008 we had successfully developed the worlds

most advanced and comprehensive cathodic protection inspection system, and by 2010
we integrated DCVG as well. Since then we have added inertial mapping for locations
where GPS is not available, a laser range finder for mapping distant and non-accessible
features, integrated photography and voice recording into our data collector, and made
numerous other enhancements. Our work has resulted in nearly a dozen patents filed in
numerous countries.
The development didnt stop there. By 2014 we were able to add several new types
of surveys, such as soil resistivity and environmental assessment. We have continued
testing to develop new ways to take the XLI products to the next level with convenience,

capabilities, and safety.

2.1.2 Utility Locates


Utility location is the process of identifying and labeling public utility mains which are
underground. These mains may include lines for telephones, electricity distribution,
natural gas, cable television, fiber optics, traffic lights, street lights, storm drains, water
mains, and wastewater pipes. In some locations, major oil and gas pipelines, national
defense communication lines, mass transit, rail and road tunnels also compete for
space underground.
Location by these means is necessary because maps often lack the pinpoint precision
needed to ensure proper clearance. In older cities, it is especially a problem since maps
may be very inaccurate, or may be missing entirely.
Call before you dig, Diggers Hotline, One-call, Miss Utility, or Underground
Service Alert are services that allow construction workers to contact utility companies,
who will then denote where underground utilities are located via color-coding those
locations. As required by law and assigned by the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), the 8-1-1 telephone number will soon be used for this purpose
across the United States.
Failure to call such a number ahead of time may result in a fine or even a criminal
charge against the person or company, particularly if such negligence causes a major
utility outage or serious accident, or an evacuation due to a gas leak. Hitting a water

2.2 Software Solutions


2.2.1 XLI Field Mouse
XLI Mouse (Patented technology) is built for the Microsoft
Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system. Field Mouse
displays and stores up to four NMEA compliant data streams
simultaneously allowing GPS, line locator (DOC and Current
Attenuation), sonar, AC and/or DC voltages and other information
to be logged concurrently.
The software also stores each survey along with the pipeline
parameters to allow easy retrieval and review of previously
surveyed data. One unique feature is the equipment status form
which allows the user to view the current status and data stream
from each connected device.
The software can also be configured to give alarms for critical
survey parameters. These include shallow cover being detected
over-the-line being surveyed, as well as other anomaly indicators,
and high error in the GPS calculated position. This helps to ensure
that the survey technician is aware of anomalies on the line or in
the data stream from the survey equipment.

2.3 Raw Log


When an XLI survey is initiated the XLI Field Mouse software immediately begins recording every
reading from all attached instruments to the SD card, and a continuous waveform from the XLI
Controller integrated volt meters. This raw log can later be opened and evaluated in the XLI Falcon
software, allowing the surveyors path (recorded by GPS), position over the pipeline (recorded from
pipe locator) and all other sensor readings to be reviewed. Where erroneous or suspect readings
are encountered, the raw log can be used to ascertain the source of the error, allowing reliable
discrimination between instrument anomalies and survey anomalies.

The XLI Raw Log Records One Call locates, leak surveys & other GIS
inspections step for step, including continuous line locator readings when
using the RIDGID SeekTech SR20 or SR60 locators!

3.1 Single GIS Data Collection


Because time is money and because people do make mistakes; The XLI Survey
Controller was built to combine and record survey data directly and simultaneously
from multiple electronic survey instruments to save data acquisition time and increase
data accuracy and reliability.
Simple over-the-line surveys for the purpose of logging right-of-way inventory and
geodetic coordinates can be completed with the XLI system using a single GPS
connection directly to the XLI Data Logger. When advanced survey data is being acquired
from numerous sources, however, the XLI Survey Controller eloquently simplifies the
process. The Survey Controller gives the advantage with an integrated volt meter, power
regulator, multiplexer and data controller with BluetoothTM or serial output to the data
logger. All mapping and inspection modes use the same software and same easy user
interface, with all the same data fields available for logging. The choice is one of purpose
for the user.

How XLI Credit Works


Once you have purchased some XLI Credit you can start to use the advanced import and
processing features that are only available with XLI Falcon. Simply sign in to your XLI Account
and from there you can check your existing balance or buy more XLI Credit online through
e-commerce using PayPal or over the phone using any accepted major credit card.
One XLI Credit will unlock 20meters of line with one or more survey points from Gen 1.x XLI
Survey Controller or non-XLI data collectors; 2 credits are required for 20 meters of XLI Gen
II Survey Controller data. The 20 meter length is measured downstream of the first point
(one credit unlocks all the points in that length when there is more than one survey point per
twenty meters in the data file). Where there are no points in a twenty meter length of line
there are no credits required.

The three ways to pay for XLI Falcon software data processing features:
XLI Basic - Pay-As-You-Go with XLI Credits, incurring no annual fee. With the use of
XLI credits the XLI Basic option allows full use of all the Spectrum XLI Falcon Software
functionality to process, analyze and export inspection data. Use XLI credits to unlock
inspection data one time, after which you can share the XLI Falcon software and your survey
data with as many users as you want.

XLI Pro allows GIS data (excludes inspection data) to be processed and exported from the
Falcon software without XLI credit by simply registering your XLI Field Controller and Field
Mouse Software. All the same features of XLI Basic are available with the use of XLI credits to

4.5 XLI & GPS


Sub-meter distances are required for CIS surveys and coating attenuation calculations; therefore
real time differential GPS systems are required for CIS and coating condition surveys.
While the XLI system can be custom configured to work with most popular GPS receivers on the
market, ease of use has made the Hemisphere Crescent Differential GPS receivers the default
receiver of choice for the XLI system.
XLI COMPATIBLE GPS DEVICES: Any NMEA 0183 compliant GPS Receiver with minimum 1 Hz
GGA output on a RS 232 port at a baud rate of 4800.

The XLI Field System works with any GPS receiver that can have the data
output configured to deliver the needed NMEA 0183 sentences via a RS232
(DB9 connector / serial port) or Bluetooth .

XLI Field-tested Compatible GPS units:

No guarantee of GPS accuracy or performance is implied.

4.6 GPS Receivers


The Hemisphere GPS Crescent R100 & R200 Series of Differential Correction Capable GPS
Receivers offer a high-accuracy GPS solution for XLI surveys.
Using Space Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), WAAS / EGNOS, or the worldwide
OmniSTAR service (R120 & R220 Only), the Crescent GPS receivers are capable of horizontal
accuracies better than <0.6m (<2) at 95% confidence* in single frequency, and <0.1m (<4) dual
frequency (R200 series).
When using differential correction services these units provide sub-meter position updates at
up to 20 times per second (20 Hz). The Hemisphere receivers also feature advanced COAST
technology that enables them to use differential correction data during temporary corrections
signal outages for half an hour or longer without significant degradation of accuracy.

The XLI DRM allows the surveyor to continue collecting spatial data when GPS is
temporarily unavailable. The DRM is an inertial mapping unit capable of sub meter
accuracy for up to 45 minutes without GPS correction (ideal conditions).
The Dead Reckoning Module (DRM) is a miniature, self-contained, electronic
navigation unit that provides the users position relative to an initialization point. Dead
reckoning (DR) and GPS data are blended by an internal Kalman filter. When GPS is

Products & Equipment

available, the DR functions are automatically calibrated continuously. When GPS is

46

unavailable, dead reckoning takes over. Unlike strapdown inertial systems, the DRM
error characteristics are independent of time, and depend primarily on distance
traveled. Advanced motion classification algorithms or SmartPedometry analyze
movement and compensate when the user is moving backwards, sideways, running,
crawling, or just fidgeting in place. An automatic compass orientation algorithm
provides accurate azimuth information when the user is upright or prone. MEMS gyros
compensate for transient magnetic disturbances. A barometric altimeter provides
vertical position accurate enough to identify the floor of a building.

4.8 XLI Laser Rangefinder


Allows collection of geodetic coordinates without having to occupy the location with
GPS receiver. This allows accurate and efficient XLI survey of distant features (buildings,
etc.) or locations where GPS blockages exist (i.e. under tree canopy or near buildings)
and during other times of GPS outage. This compact and lightweight laser provides
thru-the-lens viewing, eliminating parallax issues so you know the laser energy is
traveling directly along your line of sight. Offering crystal clear optics with the data
shown in a heads up display so you dont have to take your eye off the target. Utilizing
the integrated tilt sensor, you can measure horizontal or vertical distance and instantly
calculate the height of any object with the built-in height routine! Data communication is
via a wired RS232 serial (360 standard), or Optional Bluetooth (360B) wireless connection

SeekTech ST-33Q 5-10 Watt

Revolutionary New Locator making


the toughest locates easy.
Distance: Induce over 8 times more current than
the competition onto a target line. More current
means that you can walk and trace further than
ever before. Locate lines deeper then any other
inductive transmitter.
Versatility: Induces at 8 kHz and 33 kHz for low
distortion locates. In direct connect mode, the
SeekTech ST-33Q can transmit at any frequency
between 10 Hz and 490,000 Hz making the
RIDGID SeekTech ST-33Q one transmitter that
can be used with all receivers.
Speed: More signal equals less retracing of your
steps to pick up and move the transmitter. Cut
your inductive trace steps in half, by only having
to set up the ST-33Q once. In direct connect
mode, the LCD display gives instant feedback on
current flow and line resistance
Accuracy: Induce more current at lower
frequencies. Lower frequencies are less prone
to jump onto other lines in congested areas
reducing distortion and increasing accuracy.
Confidence: More current on your line means
more signal to locate. Combine your experience
with the information provided by RIDGID Locators
and you have the tools that allow you to work
through difficult traces with confidence.

5.3 XLI Specialist


Buried pipelines are at risk of failures due to corrosion, environmental cracking, third
party damage, and even geotechnical anomalies that can cause expensive and disruptive
interruptions to pipeline operations.
There are a suite of inspection techniques available to the pipeline operator to minimize
these risks and to prevent leaks and failures.
This is an intensive course designed to introduce the theory and application of all the
above ground survey techniques available to inspect buried pipelines.

What do you gain?


A working knowledge of the NACE standard for applying ECDA to a pipeline system.
An understanding of the theory of the indirect inspection techniques including:

Line Locating, Mapping and Depth of Cover

AC Coating Surveys (ACVG and ACCA)

DC Coating Surveys (DCVG and Side Drain)

Cathodic Protection Close Interval Potential Surveys

Leak Detection Surveys

Pipeline Inspection Techniques


We introduce pipelines as a transportation industry, competing with tanker ships, barges,
and trucks. We look then look at the efficiencies gained by operation of pipelines VS the
alternatives. We then look at the safety of pipelines, and what threats we can identify
to pipelines: third party damage (accidental, theft and terrorist), Corrosion, Cracks,
Operational, Geotechnical. This discussion is followed by the means of prevention and
inspection, from the steel mill, through transportation and construction and right into
operation. Once built and operating, we need to conduct ongoing inspections, so we

Training Courses

discuss the in-service pipeline inspection methods and the applicable standards, benefits

74

and limitations of each: Hydro re-test pressure testing, ILI Smart pigging, ECDA 4 Step
Process, Also now ICDA and SCCDA for internal corrosion and stress corrosion cracking.
Throughout this discussion, we will describe the application of numerous standards: API
579, API 570, API 1163, ASME B31.4 & B31.8, ASME/ANSI B31.8S, and specifically of NACE
SP0502-2010 for ECDA

ECDA Process
In this discussion we cover the 4 Step Process described in NACE SP0502-2010 - Pipeline
External Corrosion Direct Assessment Methodology: Pre-Assessment, Indirect Inspections,
Direct Examinations, Post Assessment. We then discuss why ECDA is used, which types
of pipelines it can and cant be used for, and the expected costs of first time and repeat
ECDA inspection programs. The final discussion is a comparison of ECDA versus the more
popular ILI and Pressure Testing inspections, and how different inspections can also be
complementary.

Pipeline Locator Theory & Use


Accurate pipeline location is key to general pipeline operations and especially
critical for above ground surveys. This discussion covers the theory and operation of
electromagnetic pipe and cable locators as well as ground penetrating radar. We then
discuss the limitations and the impact of those limitations on ILI and ECDA inspections.

GPS Theory and Data


Most utilities are now being managed with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which
requires Geodetic Coordinates. Most companies are acquiring and mapping their systems
with Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in order to efficiently and accurately map, locate
and reference assets and features. There are dozens of complicating factors that are
normally only understood by surveyors and scientists, and by understanding these the
pipeline integrity professional can more confidently work with this modern technology to
allow efficient collection and access to critical pipeline data.

Pipeline Mapping
Following the discussion on GPS and GIS, the next issue we tackle is how to collect the
indexing mapping and integrity data to allow reliable and repeatable use.

Training Courses

data needed in GIS for pipeline integrity purposes. This topic will cover methods of

75

Coating Survey
Coatings are put on pipelines to protect them from corrosion; they are the first line of
defense against corrosion and environmental cracking. The ILI technique is the most
common inspection used to find corrosion damage and environmental cracking, but
ILI requires that the operator waits for damage to occur to the pipeline, and when that
damage is large enough to exceed the threshold for detection on the ILI tool, it will be
detected and reported a reactive approach. There have been recent advances made in
the AC and DC coating survey techniques and the most recent technologies bring a new
level of reliability and confidence in the resulting data. We will describe the theory and
technique and technology used for ACVG, DCVG, and ACCA, as well as the expectation for
the results of these inspections.

Cathodic Protection
The second line of defense for a pipeline is the cathodic protection system.
Understanding CP theory and operation are critical to understanding pipeline integrity. In
this discussion we cover the theory and methodologies for applying, maintaining CP on a
pipeline system, and then discuss the inspection of CP to ensure adequate protection on a
pipeline.

Leak Detection Surveys


Despite comprehensive pipeline integrity management plans, sometimes a pipeline
still develops a leak, and locating the leak, or even ensuring no leaks exist can be a
challenging problem. There are reliable and efficient methods of locating methane from
natural gas pipeline leaks, liquid from water and liquid petroleum product leaks. We will
discuss the latest techniques and technologies and how these can be applied to many
pipeline systems.

Outcome of the Master Class


By the end of this intensive two-day Master Class, you will take back to your organization
an impeccable knowledge on how to implement a comprehensive Integrity Management

Training Courses

Program for pipelines, apply ECDA to a pipeline system, determine, assess and mitigate

76

the major threats of pipeline integrity and thus enhance your pipeline safety and reliability.
The focus will not only be on establishment of a program but also gives the pipeline
owner/engineer/operator indirect inspection techniques such as pipeline mapping,
AC/DC coating surveys, cathodic protection and leak detection surveys. The emphasis
throughout is on practical, ready-to-apply techniques that yield immediate and costeffective benefits.
