Digital Twin for Asset Integrity in Trinidad — NDT Data on a Live 3D Model
Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in Trinidad, Trinidad and Tobago 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 Trinidad asset base this is built for
Trinidad and Tobago is one of the largest LNG exporters in the Americas, with Atlantic LNG (operated by Shell with bpTT and NGC partners) at Point Fortin producing 14.8 mtpa from four trains, plus the BPTT and Shell offshore production fields supplying the LNG plant. Petrotrin's Pointe-à-Pierre refinery (165,000 bpd, currently mothballed/being reactivated) and the Atlantic Methanol Production Company and Methanol Holdings Trinidad facilities at Point Lisas drive a dense petrochemical inspection economy. The Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries and the OSHA Trinidad regulatory framework, combined with the strategic gas-supply constraints driving cross-border imports from Venezuela, make digital twin life-extension evidence particularly valuable for Trinidad operators.
Asset classes covered in Trinidad

What operators in Trinidad actually get out of it
Trinidad Atlantic LNG and Point Lisas operators running NDT digital twins typically reduce Ministry of Energy evidence prep by 55% and defer TTD 30-80M per major unit of conservative-replacement capex using rigorous API 579 + cryogenic-aware FFS evidence.
Local use cases
- Atlantic LNG Point Fortin cryogenic-storage digital twins (4 trains).
- Point Lisas methanol and ammonia synthesis reactor digital twins.
- bpTT and Shell offshore platform topside digital twins.
Compliance frameworks this maps to
- Trinidad MoEEI
- OSHA Trinidad
- API 579
- NACE MR0175
Case study
An Atlantic LNG contractor used the Atlantis NDT Digital Twin on Train 1 cryogenic vessels to support API 579 Part 3 brittle-fracture life-extension submission.
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 Trinidad?
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 Trinidad use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, automated FFS evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.
What does Digital Twin NDT cost in Trinidad?
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 Trinidad-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.
How long does deployment take in Trinidad?
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 Trinidad site.
Which NDT standards does the platform support in Trinidad?
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 Trinidad'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 Trinidad?
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 Trinidad integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
