PIRAMID Version 5.1.0 Now Available

Improve your pipeline risk, reliability and integrity using the latest features in PIRAMID® 5.1.0.

We are pleased to announce that PIRAMID® version 5.1.0 is now available for download. This version applies the following new features and improvements:

  • Adds a new Life Safety analysis module that facilitates a life safety risk evaluation process, such as that described in Annex B of CSA Z662 (2023 edition), using both societal risk (sliding F-N curve) and individual risk measures to quickly evaluate against risk thresholds for an entire pipeline, and to identify locations in need of further attention/action. Please contact C-FER Technologies for more information on how to license this feature.
  • Adds the “Individual Risk” measure to the risk-based analysis views.
  • Adds slider control to the F-N Curve analysis view to improve range selection. This feature introduces a requirement to re-calculate the consequence results for existing files to perform an F-N Curve analysis.
