Material Verification Intelligence (MVI)

Transform your verification program with MVI — faster, simpler, compliant.

MVI is a centralized platform that helps pipeline operators implement and manage PHMSA-compliant material verification programs with confidence. Get in compliance faster by automating population management, test data validation, and program tracking to reduce manual effort.

Material Verification

  • Define pipe populations
  • Plan and perform testing
  • Manage laboratory results
  • Resolve conflicting data
  • Demonstrate statistical confidence

These programs often involve large datasets, multiple teams, and evolving populations. Managing this process with spreadsheets and disconnected tools can slow programs and increase compliance risk.

Why MVI?

Material verification programs carry serious regulatory and safety consequences — MVI gives operators the tools to manage them efficiently and defensibly:

  • Centralizes field and laboratory data
  • Automates verification of required material properties
  • Supports statistical confidence requirements
  • Provides dashboards and alerts for program tracking

FEATURES

Inaccurate population groupings can invalidate test results and delay compliance; MVI helps operators build a defensible foundation by allowing them to:

  • Group segments by diameter, wall thickness, seam type, grade, and installation period
  • Track population mileage and required sample counts
  • Automatically update populations as new test data becomes available

Mismatched or missing test data can compromise statistical confidence and regulatory standing; MVI gives teams a structured way to:

  • Identify and track test locations
  • Capture destructive and nondestructive test results
  • Associate results with the correct pipe segments
  • Consolidate laboratory, NDE, and field inspection data

Falling short of statistical confidence thresholds puts operators at regulatory risk; MVI keeps programs on track with:

  • Real-time dashboards for population completion status
  • Automatic tracking of required vs. completed tests
  • Visualization of verified and pending populations

Data conflicts between test results and existing records can jeopardize compliance — MVI helps operators:

  • Automatically detect discrepancies
  • Alert program managers to potential conflicts
  • Reclassify pipe segments and update populations
  • Document resolution actions for regulatory review

Managing a verification program across disconnected data sources invites costly mistakes; MVI solves that by centralizing:

  • GIS pipeline data
  • Laboratory testing systems (LIMS)
  • Nondestructive examinations
  • Field data collection tools
  • Integrity management platforms

CAPABILITIES
