Digital Twin for Asset Integrity in Cartagena — NDT Data on a Live 3D Model

Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in Cartagena, Colombia one 3D model of the asset with every UT, PAUT, TOFD, RT, MT, PT and ET reading mapped to the exact location it was taken. Corrosion rates trend automatically, API 581 RBI scores update as data lands, and API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 Level 1 and Level 2 assessments run against measured thickness instead of a spreadsheet snapshot.

The Cartagena asset base this is built for

Cartagena's Reficar refinery — post its ~$8B mega-expansion — now runs a modern hydrocracker, delayed coker and high-severity FCC alongside the Mamonal petrochemical corridor's tank farms and reactor trains, all operating in Caribbean coastal humidity that accelerates external corrosion on carbon-steel piping and storage. Colombia's ANH-driven fitness-for-service expectations on ageing Mamonal-zone tankage make virtual turnaround planning valuable for coordinating scarce PAUT and RBI specialist crews. A digital twin integrating UT thickness mapping and RBI scoring lets Reficar and Mamonal operators plan inspection scopes and corrosion-loop reviews before mobilizing technicians into humid, high-consequence process areas. The Sociedad Portuaria Regional de Cartagena's liquid bulk terminal adds marine jetty and pipeline structures to the region's integrity dataset.

How the twin is built

Capture the geometry (LiDAR, photogrammetry, drone survey, or import your existing BIM/CAD and isometrics), ingest inspection data over REST API or file drop from any instrument, overlay the governing damage mechanisms per API RP 571, then publish colour-coded remaining-life and RBI views to integrity, maintenance and planning. Records are retained audit-ready under ISO 9001, ISO 17020 and ISO 17025.

Integrations

SAP PM, Oracle eAM, IBM Maximo, ServiceNow, AVEVA PI, OSIsoft historians, Bentley iTwin, Cognite and Atlantis NDT ERP. Full REST API and bulk data export — you keep your data in a format you can leave with.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Atlantis Digital Twin work in Cartagena?

We start with a 3D scan of your asset (drone, laser, photogrammetry), build a CAD-fidelity model, and then overlay every NDT inspection event (UT thickness readings, TOFD/PAUT scans, MT/PT indications, RT defect maps). Inspection data updates the model in real-time and colour-codes condition zones for engineering review. Operators in Cartagena use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, automated FFS evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.

What does Digital Twin NDT cost in Cartagena?

Atlantis Digital Twin is an affordable, accessible, fully customizable enterprise SaaS platform sized for up to 500 assets, with ASNT Level III consulting and unlimited NDT data ingest included. Enterprise tiers are available for multi-site fleets, and on-prem deployment is offered at the same price point. Request a Cartagena-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.

How long does deployment take in Cartagena?

A typical first-asset deployment runs 8-12 weeks: 2 weeks model build, 2 weeks data integration, 2-4 weeks workflow configuration, 2 weeks user training. Multi-asset rollouts are sequenced asset-by-asset after the first deployment is live, with each subsequent asset typically taking 4-6 weeks once the platform is configured for your Cartagena site.

Which NDT standards does the platform support in Cartagena?

API 510 (pressure vessels), API 570 (piping), API 653 (storage tanks), API 579 FFS, API 581 RBI, ASME Section V articles 2/4/6/7, ISO 9712 personnel qualification, ASNT SNT-TC-1A, and local code requirements depending on Cartagena's regulatory environment. Custom reporting templates can be configured for any additional national or operator-specific code.

Can Atlantis Digital Twin integrate with our existing CMMS in Cartagena?

Yes. We support REST API hooks for IBM Maximo, SAP PM, IFS, Oracle EAM, and most major CMMS platforms. Work-order creation, asset master sync, anomaly hand-off into corrective work, and FFS evidence packaging for management-of-change submittals can all be automated, allowing your Cartagena integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
