DNV GL unveils 7.1 release of Synergi Pipeline software

DNV GL recently announced the 7.1 release of its Synergi Pipeline software, a web-based risk and integrity management platform for the operation of distribution and pipeline systems.

The software is based on a new performance-based architecture that enables risk and integrity analytic calculation times to be reduced by up to 60 percent, the company said. The program displays calculation results in built-in dashboards where visual cues highlight occurrences such as abnormal conditions, data quality issues. The platform allows users to plan, execute, trace and evaluate activities during all stages of
the integrity management process.

“The new architecture forms the foundation for our digital asset ecosystem for pipelines,” DNV GL
Software CEO Are Føllesdal Tjønn said. “This translates into better decisions regarding operational excellence and cost optimization.”

The platform creates a single source of data and is compatible with industry standard data models, such as the new UPDM data model. The architecture also aligns with the Esri server-based technology.

“We are providing technology that leverages great volumes of data to drive smarter decisions,” DNV GL Synergi Pipeline Product Manager Brad Eichelberger said. “It’s no longer acceptable to keep risk behind the integrity walls. Transparency across the organization brings new awareness to maintaining a safety oriented culture.”
