Workfields for PLE application

Medium –Water

Medium –Water

Water pipelines sometimes involve a variety of pipe materials and installation techniques within a single project. These can be easily combined and analyzed in PLE. When connecting a new section to an existing pipeline, evaluating the loads on the connection and ensuring watertightness are critical. PLE provides the necessary tools to assess all of these factors.
Medium – Green Gas

Medium – Green Gas

Any specific requirements or pipe materials for green gas pipelines can be modeled and analyzed in PLE.
Medium – (Natural)Gas

Medium – (Natural)Gas

Due to the serious consequences of potential gas pipe leakage, ensuring the integrity of joints and connections is critical. In PLE, the exact position and type of each joint or connection can be modeled along with the expected loads, allowing detailed analysis and definition of the necessary data for each component.
Life-Cycle Assessment​

Life-Cycle Assessment​

With PLE, different stages of the pipeline design can be analyzed throughout its lifespan, providing the necessary data for a Life Cycle Assessment – from initial design to long-term integrity.​
Fit for Purpose Assessment​

Fit for Purpose Assessment​

Changes to existing pipelines and pipe systems can be assessed ideally with PLE taking into account changes and aging of material properties ​
Offshore Landfalls​

Offshore Landfalls​

Whether connections at offshore landfalls are made using HDDs or other installation methods, PLE is the software for analyzing and designing these types of connections, allowing evaluation of pipe stresses and loads at the connection joints.
Offshore Risers​

Offshore Risers​

Pipes connected to offshore risers can include both buried and exposed sections, and are subject to various types of loads, such as waves and currents. PLE is specialized software designed to analyze and combine different loading conditions, making it ideal for offshore riser assessments.​
Underground Pipeline Schemes​

Underground Pipeline Schemes​

PLE is the tool to assess the stress strain and ovalization of pipeline schemes with Tees, branches, valves and all kinds of appendages.​
Plants​

Plants​

PLE is the ultimate software for the combination of piping and pipeline stress strain assessment. The combined above and underground pipeline behaviour and soil-pipe interaction makes it possible to optimize your design.​
Earthquake and Seismic Assessments​

Earthquake and Seismic Assessments​

Static and dynamic loadings, such as earth quakes and seismic vibrations and displacements ​ Especially the combination of dynamic loading and the pipe soil interaction under large displacements can be perfectly assessed in elastic and plastic material behaviour modes by PLE​.
Nuclear Plants​

Nuclear Plants​

Nucleair pipeline conditions characterized by high pressures and large temperature ranges with ultimate safety levels​.
Culverts​

Culverts​

Culverts experience diverse loading conditions. PLE is designed to help you efficiently check and optimize your culvert for any loading scenario and soil type.
Pipelines in Flood Protection​

Pipelines in Flood Protection​

Flood protections require specific checks, safety philosophy and loading combinations. PLE is the ultimate software to assess pipelines in flood protections.​
Road Crossings​

Road Crossings​

The combination of top load and soil reactions around the pipeline makes PLE the ideal software to verify your road crossing.​
Trenchless Installation Methods​

Trenchless Installation Methods​

Trench installations of pipeline are characterized by the large amount of loadings, phases and pipe-soil and pipe-mud interaction. PLE has specific features to assess and optimize these projects.​
Medium – Sewerage Systems​

Medium – Sewerage Systems​

PLE provides reliable analysis for all sewer pipe types, including pressurized and gravity-flow systems. By modeling differential settlement and pipe support conditions, it helps engineers design efficient and robust sewerage systems.
Medium – Oil and Gas​

Medium – Oil and Gas​

In the oil and gas industry, high temperatures and high internal pressures are common. As a result, specific types of analysis—such as large deformations and significant forces at bends and connection points—are often required. These conditions can be easily modeled and analyzed using PLE. PLE is also a suitable tool to combine buried pipes and above-ground pipeline sections, including connections to plants or well pads, as well as associated supports and valves​
Medium – Chemical​

Medium – Chemical​

When transporting certain chemicals through a pipeline, specialized coatings may be required. These coatings and their key parameters can be modeled in PLE to assess their integrity.
Medium – Hydrogen​

Medium – Hydrogen​

Hydrogen pipelines pose unique challenges such as embrittlement, high diffusivity, and strict safety requirements. PLE enables detailed modeling and analysis across all stages of the pipeline lifecycle to ensure structural integrity and performance.​
Medium – CO2​

Medium – CO2​

CO2 pipelines require careful consideration due to high pressures, phase changes, and potential corrosion. PLE provides a robust platform to model and analyze these conditions throughout the pipeline’s entire lifecycle.​
