It is typical for pipelines, piping systems, and tanks to undergo modifications during their operational life. These modifications could be general maintenance, repairs (planned or emergency) or expansion of an existing system. Due to the extensive product volumes and revenues typically involved in the oil and gas sector, any lost production time is critical. Therefore, shutting down a facility or pipeline requires careful planning and critical upfront analyses.
