CALGARY, March 25, 2015 /CNW/ - Vintri Technologies
Inc. ("Vintri") is pleased to announce today that an agreement has
been finalized with TransCanada Corporation (TSX:TRP) (NYSE:TRP)
(TransCanada) to deploy new software based systems that will
enhance the execution of pipeline projects.
The agreement will support the initial implementation of
Vintri's pipeline material traceability solution, that will use
proprietary, cloud based software platforms, together with
bar-coding of materials, to automate the collation and management
of information relating to the production history of each
individual piece of pipe used to construct new pipelines.
This approach will provide faster, more efficient processing of
important data, compared to current labour intensive approaches.
The technology will initially be deployed on selected new build
pipeline projects in 2015.
"We are delighted to have a partnership with TransCanada to
establish an electronic material traceability solution supporting
the pipeline construction supply chain," commented Vintri
President, Geoff Thompson. "Vintri
will be working with TransCanada to build a scalable solution to
benefit all pipeline operators; in Canada and worldwide. "
Vintri will work with TransCanada through 2015 to establish a
tracking system that is expected to become the baseline material
traceability solution for TransCanada's future pipeline projects.
This system will allow TransCanada data to be accessed and
processed from the field and offices through mobile and web browser
applications.
Corey Goulet, President of
Keystone Projects and Vice President of Project Development,
commented, "TransCanada has a long history of leading the
implementation of new technologies in North America to enhance the safety, quality
and efficiency of its pipeline activities. We look forward to
working with Vintri to continue in this tradition."

company founded in Calgary, Canada
in 2012. Its software as a service, cloud based product
