Pipeline inspections in each project phase – for quality and safety
We offer our inspection services for every phase of your pipelines, from engineering to ongoing operation. They include:
- In-house training in all operational subjects
- Experience exchange (pipeline seminars, pipeline symposium)
- Design review, expert opinion
- Support during preparation of all required design documents
- Examination of manufacturer’s qualifications
- Pressure testing, proof testing for an integral increase in material strength
- Requirements for the system as per the state of the art, requirements for suitable leakage detection systems, specification of leakage rates
- Approval of the testing program for periodic inspections
- Periodic inspections of the pipeline system, mechanical integrity, telecontrol technology, cathodic protection, electrical systems
- Recording and tracking of flaws, recommendations for testing intervals
- Selection of suitable intelligent inspection pigs to record the pipeline condition (dents, cracks, corrosion, material flaws, peaking etc.)
- Assessment of data and flaws
- Assessment of operational stability, service life calculation, fitness-for-purpose analysis
- Support during maintenance measures (continued operation, repair, removal), modification of operating modes
- Auditing / neutral assessment of management system
- Damage assessment, damage report, material testing
Our pipeline inspections comply with the relevant regulations and national rules of the country responsible.
Expertise and experience in the inspection of pipelines
Our inspectors undergo several years of appropriate training before they are allowed to perform inspections independently. Regular additional training ensures that all inspectors’ knowledge is maintained up-to-date. To ensure that our inspectors can provide individual and legally reliable support, they are trained in line with the relevant set of rules.
We are constantly working on our inspection and calculation methods, so we will be able to achieve optimal results for pipeline operators in future as well.
