Historical lightning data for a pipeline risk model, delivered in under two weeks
An integrity management firm needed historical lightning strike data to calculate risk on a segment of pipeline. Pivvot’s data services team researched the available sources and delivered a project-ready dataset in less than two weeks.
The challenge
On a risk management project, an integrity management firm needed to calculate the likelihood of a lightning strike on a segment of pipeline.
That calculation depends on historical lightning data for the specific area, which is not something most operators keep on hand. Sourcing it means knowing which providers exist, understanding how their records differ, and picking one that is good enough to defend a risk model built on top of it. That is a research project sitting in front of the actual analysis.
What they did
The firm came to Pivvot to acquire the data:
- Multiple data sources researched and compared by the Pivvot data services team
- The highest quality information selected for the specific project area in question
- Data located, prepared and delivered as a dataset the risk model could run on
The Pivvot team located, prepared and delivered the data in less than two weeks, shaving time off the project and ensuring a swift delivery to the end-client.
Pivvot use story, lightning data for integrity management
The result
Pivvot delivered in less than two weeks, shaving time off the project and getting the end client a swift answer.
The firm did not spend those two weeks evaluating data vendors. It spent them on the risk analysis its client was actually paying for.
