The Exposure

The Ticket Came In Friday. The Marks Went Down Wednesday. The Dig Started Tuesday.

Locate requests pile up after a storm, the legal response time runs out, the excavator stops waiting, and a backhoe finds the line before the paint does. Every one of those steps had a time on it that nobody was watching.

The ticket was received. Nobody was counting down its response time.

Every Ticket, Dig and Patrol on Its Clock.

Set your state response times and your high-consequence segments once. X3 counts down every ticket and every patrol, and puts a watcher on the digs that need one.

Tickets

Received, due, marked, cleared and the positive response, against your state’s legal time.

Excavation watch

Digs inside the tolerance zone of your highest-consequence pipe get a named watcher.

Damages

Every hit or near miss with its root cause and cost, so the pattern shows.

Patrols

Right-of-way patrols on their legal frequency by class and crossing.

Markers

Line markers at every road, rail and water crossing, checked on the walk.

Public awareness

API RP 1162 audiences, message frequency and the four-year effectiveness review.

A late ticket is a near miss. X3 makes sure nobody treats it as normal.

Why per mile. Pipeline work grows with miles of pipe: patrols, test stations, valves, leak surveys and assessments all scale with the system. So X3 Pipeline is priced per regulated mile. Every product has a monthly minimum that covers your first 100 miles, because every operator carries the same fixed work whatever its size: written procedures, an OQ program, an emergency plan and annual reports. Each mile after that adds a small amount. All nine products cost about four times one, so running the whole loop is the better deal, and paying for a year gets you twelve months for the price of ten.

Prices in US dollars. Subscriptions renew each month or year until cancelled.
