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

Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in Sarnia, Canada 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 and remaining-life trends update automatically as new readings land, from measured thickness instead of a spreadsheet snapshot.

The Sarnia asset base this is built for

Sarnia is the heart of Ontario's Chemical Valley, home to Imperial Oil's Sarnia refinery, Suncor's Sarnia refinery, NOVA Chemicals' Corunna petrochemical complex, and a dense cluster of chemical plants that together form one of North America's largest integrated petrochemical hubs along the St. Clair River. Decades of continuous high-pressure, high-temperature process operation across Chemical Valley's crackers, distillation units, and storage tank farms drive relentless corrosion and fatigue monitoring needs under Ontario's technical safety and environmental oversight. 3D digital twins let Imperial, Suncor, and NOVA Chemicals inspection teams overlay UT/PAUT and RBI data onto refinery and petrochemical unit geometry, giving multiple co-located operators a shared, visual way to plan turnarounds and FFS assessments across a tightly interconnected industrial corridor. As Chemical Valley operators invest in emissions reduction and feedstock diversification, digital twins are becoming the baseline model for integrating new low-carbon units alongside decades-old process infrastructure.

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 condition views to integrity, maintenance and planning. Records are retained audit-ready under ISO 9001, ISO 17020 and ISO 17025.

Integrations

Atlantis ERP has an open REST API, so it connects to SAP, Maximo, NetSuite or any other system that accepts API connections; each integration is scoped with you during implementation. Full data export — you keep your data in a format you can leave with.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Atlantis Digital Twin work in Sarnia?

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 Sarnia use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, cleaner inspection evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.

What does Digital Twin NDT cost in Sarnia?

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

How long does deployment take in Sarnia?

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 Sarnia site.

Which NDT standards does the platform support in Sarnia?

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 Sarnia'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 Sarnia?

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 inspection-evidence packaging for management-of-change submittals can all be automated, allowing your Sarnia integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
