HELIX

What HELIX sells

HELIX Horizon is the record every reading lands in. The Sensor Wrap keeps it current; a visit, 3D capture and two instruments feed it.

HELIX Horizon

Puts every reading on a 3D model of your actual asset.

Monitoring

HELIX Sensor Wrap

Watches the wall around the clock, after the crew leaves.

Services

Screening visit

One visit, four methods, and the asset stays in service.

Services

LiDAR capture

A 3D model of the asset from LiDAR and photographs, with every reading registered to it.

Instruments

HELIX PEC

Screens for wall loss straight through coating and insulation.

Instruments

HELIX ECA

Finds cracks and surface defects at welds, through paint.

Start from the asset that worries you.

Wall loss under coatings or insulation, corrosion you cannot see

Pulsed eddy current

A wall-thickness map of the asset, verified with UT at set points

Cracking at welds, nozzles and connections

Eddy current array

Every indication located and pinned on the 3D model for follow-up

A fast-wearing or high-consequence section you cannot keep re-visiting

Sensor Wrap

Continuous wall readings and a replace-by forecast against your minimum wall

A buried line that cannot be shut down, pigged or dug up end to end

Pulsed eddy current, plus a Sensor Wrap at an access point

Assessment from the outside, and permanent monitoring from a single excavation

Fifty years of paper records and no baseline

LiDAR, photogrammetry and HELIX Horizon

One registered 3D record of everything measured, the baseline every future look builds on

Industries

Applicable across industries.

Any ferromagnetic steel, through coatings and insulation: a pipeline, a process line, a slurry line or a water main.

Oil and gas

Pipelines, risers and process piping, read through coatings and insulation while the line stays in service.

An operating plant from the air: towers, tanks and pipe racks

Power

Feedwater, steam and cooling lines, and the vessels around them.

Rust and scale on the underside of a pipe, close up

Mining and slurry

Slurry lines and elbows that wear from the inside, monitored from the outside.

A plant as a LiDAR point cloud

Pulp and paper

Chemical and process lines in aggressive service.

Steel

Cooling water, gas and process lines across the works.

Piping in a pump room

Water utilities

Mains, pump stations and treatment-plant piping, screened in place.
