Creaform Integrity Suite is a powerful NDT software platform that integrates all analytical functions and tools into an intuitive, user friendly working environment. Composed of four software modules designed specifically for the NDT industries, Creaform Integrity Suite combines NDT knowledge and market intelligence to raise the quality of analysis and reporting to a higher level.

​

The challenges facing NDT service companies are becoming increasingly prominent. First, these issues exist in a market made
up of old, rapidly-aging infrastructure, which causes an increased demand for inspection. Second, there is a shortage of skilled labor as well as the increased departure of retiring experienced technicians, which provokes a drop in service offerings.


This combination of an increase in inspection demands and a decrease in service offerings constitutes a perfect storm for the
industry, making it difficult to meet customers’ needs.

Creaform Integirty Suite NDT Software Platform

Composed of four software modules designed specifically for NDT industries, the Creaform Integrity Suite is a powerful NDT software platform that integrates all analytical functions and tools into an intuitive, user-friendly working environment. It combines NDT knowledge and market intelligence to raise the quality of analysis and reporting to a higher level.

Creaform Integrity Suite - PIPELINE

Pipeline owners face constant pressure from regulatory authorities and environmental groups to guarantee pipeline network integrity. Despite this pressure, they often base their maintenance decisions on non-traceable and error-prone manual measurements, even though an incorrect diagnosis can lead to severe consequences.

​

The Pipeline module delivers accurate results and in-depth analyses directly onsite, enabling pipeline owners to establish valid diagnoses and make appropriate repair decisions quickly. This allows them to stick to their budget and schedule, ensure employee safety, and maintain public health and trust.

KEY FEATURES

  • Data analysis and report generation directly onsite

  • Accurate, repeatable, and traceable results

  • Reduced latency, as pipes are reburied more quickly

  • Ability to conserve data over time, making it possible to compare damage evolution

  • Prevention of environmental catastrophe

  • B31.G, B31.8 R and Psqr compliant

  • ​Offers Level III simulations of a corrosion pipe based on the Finite Element Analysis method

Creaform Integrity Suite - PRESSUE EQUIPMENT

PLANT & REFINERY INTEGRITY ASSESSMENT

Plant owners come up against constant difficulties in obtaining accurate and traceable thickness-loss measurements on curved and complex geometries. The current manual techniques are not repeatable enough, as the measurements are too dependent on the technician’s skills and experience. Because determining the thickness-loss profile is challenging, safety factors are added, caused by a loss of confidence in the results.

 

The Pressure Equipment Module delivers absolute measurements of thickness loss—with no possibility of human error—on curved and complex geometries that plant owners can fully trust when making the decision to shut down their plant or refinery for maintenance work.

KEY FEATURES

  • Highest accuracy on digital reconstruction

  • Technician-independent measurements free from human error at the acquisition stage

  • Versatile measurement method for all geometry types, such as spheres, cylindrical heads, tank floors, etc.

  • Polyvalent Pressure Equipment assessment for all types of mechanical damages, such as corrosion, dent, and gouge.

  • Ability to export inspection results into CSV or STL files

  • API 579 (FFS-1) compliant

Creaform Integrity Suite - AIRCRAFT

MRO companies, aircraft manufacturers, and airlines that perform NDT inspections for in-service aircraft maintenance face increasing pressure to complete their assessments as quickly as possible without sacrificing accuracy. The problem is that NDT inspections

take time and, the longer an airplane is grounded, the more airlines lose money.

​

The Aircraft module is the first 3D visualization software built specifically for assessing aircraft surfaces and characterizing dent damage. It delivers faster, more accurate results than traditional methods, reduces operator influence, speeds up reporting and provides OEMs with complete data for deeper analysis.

KEY FEATURES

  • Operator-independent measurements

  • Algorithm sensitive to the finest detail

  • Interaction rule optimized for aerospace, facilitating communication on the extent of damage

  • Defect characterization on different aircraft components, sizes, and surface finishes

  • Guided workflow approach that simplifies the measurement extraction of 3D scan data and obtains the exact dimensions required for the assessment

Creaform Integrity Suite - ANALYSIS TOOLKIT

ENHANCED INSPECTION & EVALUATION

Until now, inspecting defects such as blends, corrosion, and other damages without CAD models has mainly relied on manual tools. The same applies to measuring ovality, bend radius, and other critical dimensions—resulting in limited accuracy, repeatability,

and traceability.

​

The Analysis Toolkit has been designed to empower service companies to seamlessly integrate advanced analysis capabilities into their digital inspection service offering. Creaform’s 3D inspection solution stands out among NDT methods by providing the accuracy and data quality necessary to perform detailed evaluations, track changes over time, and compare results across various modules.

KEY FEATURES

  • Calculation of wear, corrosion, erosion rates, deformation, alignment, and ovality 

  • Advanced and automatic report generation

  • User-friendly metrology toolkit optimized for industrial maintenance applications

  • Automated damage dimensioning based on interaction criteria

  • Export of IGES and STEP files with seamless transfer to CAD software
