PROBLEM STATEMENT As we know, Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd Company are looking for company that have potential to give a good service to solve the problem they got. So,it is the pipelines underwater that need to be improvised and restored perfectly beyond our companys ability. As our company is very experienced in the job offered which is inspection field and can provide or managing the operation of piping of underwater,we want to give a try in operating the underwater pipelines services.

OBJECTIVES There is some objective we want to achieve in our project such as i. ii. iii. iv. To make sure the pipe did not have any damage to the whole pipe system. To carry out regular testing upon the pipeby using our testing pipe produces. To make inspection on the pipe system twice a weeks. To measure the pipe every single metre by using the sutaible testing.

SCOPE 1. Our company will test the pipe with a suitable test. 2. The problem will be inspect and solution of the problem will be reseach. 3. Develop our testing measurement based on flaw detection system. 4. If the pipe can be repair, it will be repair by underwater welding. 5. If the pipe cannot be repair, there will be many procedure to the pipe.

ANALYSIS The test that will be conduct to inspect the pipe system is ultrasonic inspection. There are two methods of receiving the ultrasound waveform, reflection and attenuation. In reflection (or pulse-echo) mode, the transducer performs both the sending and the receiving of the pulsed waves as the "sound" is reflected back to the device. Reflected ultrasound comes from an interface, such as the back wall of the object or from an imperfection within the object. The diagnostic machine displays these results in the form of a signal with an amplitude representing the intensity of the reflection and the distance, representing the arrival time of the reflection. In attenuation (or through-transmission) mode, a transmitter sends ultrasound through one surface, and a separate receiver detects the amount that has reached it on another surface after traveling through the medium. Imperfections or other conditions in the space between the transmitter and receiver reduce the amount of sound transmitted, thus revealing their presence. Using the couplant increases the efficiency of the process by reducing the losses in the ultrasonic wave energy due to separation between the surfaces.

DISCUSSION With our ultrasonic flaw detection, we know the flaw happening at which part of the pipe have flaw. We also show the example of the examinate the material in which degree and the example of the result that state the flaw happening in the pipe or materials.

Conclusion We will carries out the project same as our objective. If we detected the flaw we will research either we repaired it or make a replacement for the flaw pipe that we found. In order for the safety and health, we also provides the safety percaution at each metre of the pipe and by using our tester.
