Digital Twin for Asset Integrity in Whangarei — NDT Data on a Live 3D Model
Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in Whangarei, New Zealand 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 Whangarei asset base this is built for
Whangarei is home to Channel Infrastructure's site at Marsden Point, New Zealand's former sole oil refinery, now converted into the country's largest fuel import terminal, alongside Northport's bulk and container facilities on the Whangarei Harbour. The former refinery's crude and product storage tanks, jetties, and process piping were built for decades of continuous refining duty and now require careful structural and corrosion assessment as they're repurposed for import terminal operations. 3D digital twins let Channel Infrastructure track UT thickness and tank floor/shell inspection history across a large legacy asset base while it transitions from refining to import and storage, avoiding costly guesswork on which structures can be safely repurposed. As Whangarei positions itself for future biofuel and renewable diesel investment, a digital baseline of the existing asset condition underpins those redevelopment decisions.

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 Whangarei?
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 Whangarei use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, automated FFS evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.
What does Digital Twin NDT cost in Whangarei?
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 Whangarei-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.
How long does deployment take in Whangarei?
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 Whangarei site.
Which NDT standards does the platform support in Whangarei?
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 Whangarei'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 Whangarei?
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 Whangarei integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
