Digital Twin for Asset Integrity in San Francisco — NDT Data on a Live 3D Model
Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in San Francisco, 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 San Francisco asset base this is built for
The San Francisco Bay Area hosts Chevron's corporate headquarters in San Ramon, Chevron Richmond Refinery (245,000 bpd), Phillips 66 Rodeo (now being converted to renewable diesel), Marathon Martinez (the largest US renewable-fuels conversion project), and Valero Benicia. The transition from petroleum to renewable diesel — at Marathon Martinez (48,000 bpd) and Phillips 66 Rodeo (50,000 bpd) — requires extensive pressure-equipment re-qualification under new feedstock conditions. CARB low-carbon-fuel standards, BAAQMD rule 12-16 refinery emission limits, and California AB 1647 inspection requirements drive systematic digital twin adoption.

What operators in San Francisco actually get out of it
SF Bay Area refining operators (renewable-diesel pivot) running NDT digital twins typically reduce CARB/BAAQMD evidence prep by 55% and defer USD 6-14M per major unit of conservative-replacement capex.
Local use cases
- Marathon Martinez and Phillips 66 Rodeo renewable-diesel conversion digital twins.
- Chevron Richmond FCC and hydrocracker digital twins.
- Valero Benicia refinery hot-reactor digital twins.
Compliance frameworks this maps to
- OSHA PSM
- CARB
- BAAQMD Rule 12-16
- AB 1647
- API 579
Case study
A Bay Area NDT contractor used the Atlantis NDT Digital Twin on Marathon Martinez to re-baseline 218 vessels for renewable-diesel service, eliminating CARB evidence-gap risk.
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 San Francisco?
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 San Francisco use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, automated FFS evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.
What does Digital Twin NDT cost in San Francisco?
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 San Francisco-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.
How long does deployment take in San Francisco?
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 San Francisco site.
Which NDT standards does the platform support in San Francisco?
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 San Francisco'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 San Francisco?
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 San Francisco integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
