AUT for mainline pipe inspection
I need some advice please. Our client is proposing mainline production for his automatic welding company to produce from 100 to 120 welds per day. This is for one spread. It is relatively flat land.
Is that really possible? 6 days a week? And if so, would there be a sound reason to have a second AUT complete unit for back up?
Would 100 to 120 welds require a 4 man crew for AUT?
If there is production of 100 to 120 welds per day, is AUT faster than crawlers?
Thanks for the help.
