From Hours to Seconds: Rethinking NDT & MTR Access
If it takes half a day to track down a weld’s NDT report or a pipe’s MTR, you’re not alone. Across the midstream sector, chasing documents has become a frustrating routine that slows projects, erodes client confidence, and increases risk. The good news? With the right system, finding answers can take seconds – not hours or days.
Picture this:
You’re on a call with a contractor who urgently needs to verify stencil information on a specific pipe. The expectation? A quick and accurate response.
Instead, the all-too-familiar cycle begins:
Clicking endlessly through folders, hoping the right file appears.
Messaging a colleague for help, only to wait longer.
Scrolling the same directories over and over, convinced you’ve missed something.
Meanwhile, the contractor waits, the pressure builds, and productivity comes to a standstill.
Now imagine this: you type the stencil number into one connected platform. Instantly, every related file appears – NDT reports, MTRs, inspection history, and more.
No guesswork. No bottlenecks. No wasted time.
With an intelligent, connected platform, every document becomes part of a searchable, traceable story that delivers clarity when you need it most.
Why Traditional Methods Fall Short
Relying on folders, spreadsheets, or scattered systems may feel familiar, but it comes with costly drawbacks:
Lost time. Hours that could move a project forward are spent on repetitive searches.
Uncertainty. Without a reliable system, information is often outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate.
Bottlenecks. Teams stall waiting on each other for answers, creating avoidable delays.
Compliance risk. During audits or regulatory reviews, missing traceability makes proving data integrity a challenge.
The impact isn’t just operational, it’s financial. Projects slow, teams get frustrated, and client confidence erodes.
The Vintri Solution
This is where vintriCORE changes the game. Purpose-built for the energy sector, vintriCORE consolidates information from multiple sources into one connected, searchable system.
Faster: What once took hours now takes seconds.
Trusted: Every document is cross-verified to ensure multiple sources are reporting the same values.
Unified: Teams work from a single, verified source of truth – no silos, no second-guessing.
Instead of chasing files, VintriCORE delivers answers on demand, empowering teams to move faster with confidence.
How vintriCORE Makes Midstream Data Work for You
From weld traceability to project-wide dashboards, vintriCORE gives midstream teams the tools to quickly find, connect, and understand asset data – so critical information is always just a few clicks away.
Finding Upstream and Downstream Assets of a Weld
VintriCORE’s asset data tab displays both upstream and downstream attributes for each weld, making it easy to trace where the asset comes from and where it goes next. This improves traceability and supports better decision-making in the field or the office.
Finding All Pups Related to a Multi-Joint (MJ)
VintriCORE makes it simple to find all pups linked to a specific multi-joint. From the MJ’s asset page, users can navigate to the related assets tab for a full list of connected pups. It works both ways: each pup’s page shows the MJ it belongs to. This two-way visibility helps track components and keeps projects moving smoothly.
Identifying Who Performed an NDT Inspection
Inspector details are stored within the weld’s asset record in vintriCORE. By opening the weld’s data view, users can see who performed the NDT inspection, along with other relevant inspection information – all in one place for quick reference.
Locating the NDT Report for a Weld
As a digital database, vintriCORE links documents directly to assets. To find an NDT inspection report for a weld, users simply click on the weld asset and open the attachments tab. Reports can be viewed and downloaded in multiple formats, including PDF, Excel, or email.
Searching and Filtering Assets by Attributes
VintriCORE offers advanced search and filtering across asset attributes such as outer diameter or heat number. Using query-based searches, users can combine multiple criteria for precise and targeted results. This functionality streamlines information retrieval and significantly improves operational efficiency.
Project-Level Overview of Assets
VintriCORE includes interactive dashboards that provide a comprehensive view of assets within a project. These dashboards deliver key metrics, trend graphs, and survey maps. For example, the pipe report displays metrics like number of joints, manufactured length, and coated length to date. Users can drill down from high-level views into detailed asset data, enabling quick assessments and informed decision-making across the project lifecycle.
Why It Matters: More Than Just Convenience
The difference between manual searches and vintriCORE isn’t convenience; it’s a fundamental shift in how midstream teams work.
Speed. Hours become seconds, reducing wait times and schedule slippage.
Trusted data. Verified, traceable records remove guesswork and rework.
Responsiveness. Whether it’s a contractor call, leadership report, or audit, you can respond accurately and on time.
Collaboration. One platform eliminates silos and aligns field, office, and leadership.
Compliance. Built-in traceability keeps you audit-ready at any moment.
Think back to that stressful contractor call. Traditionally, you scramble and hope. With vintriCORE, you search and find—fast, accurate, complete. Multiply that across dozens of weekly requests: the time savings are significant. The bigger win is confidence: teams know they have the right tools, and clients know they can rely on you.
Building a Better Future for Midstream Asset Management
Midstream operators face rising pressure to deliver safely, efficiently, and in full compliance. Legacy, spreadsheet-driven methods can’t keep pace. VintriCORE provides a modern, scalable alternative – connecting documents, assets, and metadata in one coherent system that’s always available, accurate, and trusted.
For project managers, that means faster decisions. For field teams, less time lost hunting files. For leadership, stronger performance with lower risk. For clients, confidence that their projects are in capable hands.
