Today from the CLEANPOWER 2023 Conference & Exhibition, HUVRdata, the next generation Inspection Data Management Software (IDMS) Platform, announced that Dave Bajula is joining the HUVR Advisor Network (HAN). Bajula is the latest of nine industry veterans to join the HAN, with backgrounds in a range of disciplines and asset integrity management technologies. Bajula brings more than 40 years of insight and perspective formed, in part, from his time as general manager of advanced NDT services at Acuren, as well as from his time as President and Chairman of the Board of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT).

“I’m thrilled that Dave chose to help us on our mission to fix the broken industrial asset inspection paradigm,” said Chris Haines, VP of strategy, HUVRdata. “Dave’s decades of NDT leadership in nuclear power, petrochemical, refining and aerospace make him an incredible resource to our product development team, our partner network and our customers.”

  • John O’Brien: Former Chevron operations and engineering technology leader, and current general manager of TWI Certification. John is known globally for his decades of experience across the hydrocarbon value chain, from the bottom of the hole to the gas station.
  • Mark Susich, 30+ years integrity management leadership BP and Marathon Oil Corporation. Mark has vast experience in digital workflows, application of advanced analytics and robotics solutions to drive the effectiveness of risk-based inspection programs.
  • Patrick Woodson: Former CEO EON Energy Services and current CEORevolution Trackers. Patrick is an experienced founder, chief executive and advisor in renewable energy

“The need for proper management of integrity data has never been so important as it is now,” said Bajula when asked why he agreed to become a HUVR Advisor. “HUVR provides unique data management solutions and I’m proud to be part of their advisory team, providing innovative and actionable management of inspection and maintenance data enabling owners and users the ability to be forever proactive instead of reactive to their integrity management.”

HUVRdata’s platform is a powerful-but-easy-to-use inspection data management system. Inspectors can access workflows created based on hard-won best practices across multiple industries (oil and gas, wind, solar, manufacturing, etc.). The workflows are highly configurable to meet the unique needs of a particular asset or site. HUVR aggregates data from any inspection tool and normalizes it to deliver solutions for anomaly management, reporting and analytics, repair planning, and ongoing work management. The inspection data is stored securely on the cloud for easy recall, or for integration with other systems of record. The net result is that data silos are eliminated and complex inspections are completed quicker, improving safety and the bottom line.
