Development and Remote Access of an In-Line Inspection and Corrosion Growth Database

This paper outlines the development of the Goliath database and its access through the Internet. Goliath is the corrosion and corrosion-rate database developed by Morrison Scientific Inc. (“MSI”) in 1998 and 1999, for Enbridge Pipelines Inc. (“Enbridge”). Its original design and implementation were for the management of corrosion data from in-line inspections and the corrosion-rate analysis results. In addition, Goliath also contains other related data such as pipe parameters, inspection dates, and vendor-company information.
