Overview
This white paper demonstrates how advanced simulation methods—specifically Finite Element Analysis (FEA)—can provide significantly more accurate pipeline burst pressure assessments than traditional, more conservative approaches. Testing revealed that FEA can yield burst pressure estimates up to 2.5 times higher, helping asset owners move beyond the limitations of legacy models that rely on excessive safety margins.
By incorporating precise 3D data, realistic material behavior, and complex stress analysis, these simulations enable more targeted maintenance and better resource allocation. The result is a shift from reactive, overcautious repairs to proactive, risk-informed decision-making that enhances safety, reduces costs, and supports more efficient infrastructure management.
