Digital Twin for Asset Integrity in United States — NDT Data on a Live 3D Model
Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in United States, 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 United States asset base this is built for
The United States is the world's largest refining nation at 18.4 million bpd of capacity, the largest natural gas producer, the largest LNG exporter (Sabine Pass, Corpus Christi, Cameron, Cove Point, Freeport, Plaquemines, Calcasieu Pass), and operates more than 2.6 million miles of pipeline under PHMSA oversight. The OSHA PSM 29 CFR 1910.119 framework, the API 510/570/653/579 inspection codes, the EPA Risk Management Program 40 CFR 68, and the NRC nuclear inspection regime collectively make the USA the most digital-twin-receptive industrial market in the world. Major operators — ExxonMobil, Chevron, Phillips 66, Marathon, Valero, BP, Shell, Cheniere, ConocoPhillips — increasingly mandate digital twin capability in NDT contractor qualification.
Asset classes covered in United States

What operators in United States actually get out of it
US operators across refining, LNG, pipelines and nuclear running NDT digital twins typically reduce PHMSA/OSHA PSM/NRC evidence prep by 50% and defer USD 7-22M per major unit of conservative-replacement capex using rigorous API 579 FFS evidence.
Local use cases
- Refinery (ExxonMobil, Chevron, Marathon, Phillips 66, Valero) digital twins.
- LNG export terminal (Cheniere, Sempra, Venture Global) cryogenic digital twins.
- PHMSA-regulated pipeline integrity-management digital twins (2.6M miles).
Compliance frameworks this maps to
- OSHA PSM
- EPA RMP
- PHMSA
- NRC
- API 579
- API 510/570/653
Case study
A US-headquartered super-major used the Atlantis NDT Digital Twin to consolidate inspection evidence across 12 refineries, reducing turnaround-planning cycle time by 30%.
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 United States?
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 United States use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, automated FFS evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.
What does Digital Twin NDT cost in United States?
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 United States-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.
How long does deployment take in United States?
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 United States site.
Which NDT standards does the platform support in United States?
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 United States'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 United States?
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 United States integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
