A SUBSIDIARY of the company that runs Teesside's Wilton International site has won a major contract with Esso to supply pipe-checking computer software.
Advanced technology developed by SembSolutions is helping Esso check its network of underground pipelines.
SembSolutions, part of SembCorp Utilities UK, is providing the geographical information system. It is a computer-based information system that allows for pinpoint analysis of pipelines from any PC connected to the Internet.
Esso has about 1,200 miles of buried pipelines transporting a range of fuels throughout England and Wales and the company initially intends to use the system as part of its emergency response planning.
SembCorp already uses the computer system to manage its own pipelines infrastructure on Teesside and the company has also adapted it to help its on-site fire and spill protection teams respond more effectively to emergencies.
