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

Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in Freeport, USA 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 Freeport asset base this is built for

Freeport is home to Dow Chemical's largest integrated manufacturing site in the world, alongside BASF's Freeport complex and the Freeport LNG export terminal, one of the largest LNG export facilities in the US, creating a dense concentration of cryogenic storage, high-pressure reactors, and petrochemical piping along the Texas Gulf Coast. Freeport LNG's cryogenic tanks and loading arms sit alongside Dow's ethylene and chlor-alkali units, all exposed to hurricane risk and salt-air corrosion that accelerate degradation on carbon steel piping and vessels. API 620/625 cryogenic tank integrity and API 570 piping programs generate constant inspection data that digital twins help consolidate into a single visual reference for turnaround planning. Remote offshore-adjacent siting and storm evacuation protocols make virtual walk-downs through 3D twins a practical way to keep inspection programs moving when site access is restricted.

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 Freeport?

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 Freeport use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, automated FFS evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.

What does Digital Twin NDT cost in Freeport?

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 Freeport-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.

How long does deployment take in Freeport?

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 Freeport site.

Which NDT standards does the platform support in Freeport?

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 Freeport'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 Freeport?

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 Freeport integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
