Daily Operations

Morning System Check

Ask Claude to provide a morning briefing:
"Give me a morning briefing on the pipeline system.
Include any overnight alerts, rectifiers needing attention,
and upcoming compliance deadlines."
Claude will use get_pipeline_summary, search_assets, and compliance tools to generate a comprehensive report.

Finding Problem Areas

"Find all test stations that have had readings below -850mV
in the last 7 days and show me which rectifiers protect them."
This combines query_measurements, search_assets, and find_protection_systems.

Risk Analysis

Impact Assessment

"If rectifier R-2145 goes offline, what segments would be affected
and what's the current risk level of each?"
"Analyze the potential impact of a power outage at the
Northern substation on our CP systems."

Trend Analysis

"Show me the pipe-to-soil potential trends for segment S-1001
over the last 90 days. Are there any concerning patterns?"

Compliance

Compliance Status Check

"What's our current compliance status for 49 CFR 192.465?
Are there any test stations overdue for readings?"

Audit Preparation

"Generate a summary of all CP activities for Q4 2024
that I can use for the upcoming PHMSA audit."

Reporting

Executive Summary

"Create an executive summary of our pipeline integrity program
for the board meeting. Include key metrics, recent improvements,
and any areas of concern."

Technician Briefing

"What work should be prioritized for the field team today?
Focus on safety-critical items and upcoming compliance deadlines."

Advanced Workflows

Multi-Step Analysis

Here’s an example of a complex analysis workflow:
  1. Identify the scope: “Show me all pipelines in the Eastern region”
  2. Find issues: “Which of these have had below-threshold readings?”
  3. Analyze impact: “For the affected segments, what’s the business impact if corrosion accelerates?”
  4. Recommend action: “Based on this analysis, what should be our remediation priority?”

Integration with Other Tools

Combine CorrData data with other MCP servers:
"Use the CorrData data to identify high-risk segments,
then use the calendar tool to schedule inspections
and the email tool to notify the field team."

Sample Conversations

User: “Rectifier R-3001 is showing reduced output. What’s going on?”Claude: Let me investigate R-3001…
  • Current output: 2.3A (normal range: 4-6A)
  • Last maintenance: 45 days ago
  • Connected test stations: 4 (TS-401, TS-402, TS-403, TS-404)
  • Recent P/S readings at connected stations are trending toward -750mV
Recommendation: This appears to be a rectifier issue, not a demand increase. Suggest dispatching a technician to check:
  1. AC input voltage
  2. Rectifier tap settings
  3. Cable connections
Would you like me to generate a work order?
User: “What compliance deadlines do we have coming up?”Claude: I found the following upcoming deadlines:
DeadlineRequirementItems DueStatus
Dec 15, 202449 CFR 192.46512 test stations8 complete, 4 pending
Dec 31, 2024Annual rectifier inspection3 rectifiersNot started
Jan 15, 202549 CFR 192.463Interference surveyScheduled
Priority Actions:
  1. Complete the 4 pending test station reads this week
  2. Schedule rectifier inspections before holiday shutdown
Would you like me to create tasks for these items?
