ECDA Methodology is a novel tool that will allow pipeline integrity assessment through the adequate integration of all available data related to pipeline manufacture, construction and operation. The quality of the data that will be integrated will have a strong impact on the results of the application of ECDA. This paper presents examples and discussion of the field data acquisition in the Indirect Examination step.
