- Managing coating warranty tracking and CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation) survey reports
RBI Matrices & Turnaround Dossiers
Structuring Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) inputs per API 580/581 for plant shutdowns.
- Updating Probability of Failure (POF) and Consequence of Failure (COF) data points
- Tracking Damage Mechanisms per API 571 (MIC, wet $H_2S$ cracking, caustic embrittlement)
- Creating shutdown inspection work scopes and blind lists for plant turnaround planners
- Building executive integrity KPI dashboards in Power BI showing high-risk assets

"We manage cathodic protection on 2,200 miles of crude gathering pipeline. Our SageDoer VA transcribes raw annual CIS datalogger files, flags low-potential test leads (< -850 mV), and overlays rectifier logs in ArcGIS. They saved our field team over 100 hours this quarter alone."
David Henderson, PE, NACE CP-4
Pipeline Integrity Lead, Midstream Energy (Houston, TX)
"During our refinery turnaround, we had over 14,000 UT thickness readings to enter into Mistras PCMS across 600 piping circuits. SageDoer's dedicated PM coordinated the ingestion, checked $t_{min}$ flags, and ensured our API 570 inspection binders were 100% complete before startup."
Dr. Arthur Morales
Chief Materials & Corrosion Engineer, Refining Group (Calgary, Canada)
"The single point of contact is incredible. When our consulting practice got inundated with sour service autoclave coupon data for an offshore client, our SageDoer PM oversaw the ASTM G1 weight-loss calculations and delivered immaculate charts. At $6/hour, it has been our most profitable operational hire."
Varun Krishnamurthy
Principal Consultant, Marine & Subsea Integrity (Aberdeen, UK)
"Tracking chemical inhibitor residuals, iron counts, and bacterial SRB levels across 180 gas wells used to take our lead technician 3 days every month. Our SageDoer assistant maintains the live Power BI dashboard and flags pump starvation instantly."
