Advisory and Inspection
The market for the use of surface and shallow buried pipelines is on the increase with the growth of conservation and reuse of energy along with the need to convey energy from source to consumers around the world.
For this enormous growing network, there is an ever increasing need to monitor and maintain these pipelines. Economically and environmentally it is beneficial to conduct this task non-invasively.

The client deliverables are:

2. Graphical and Video ( thermal and conventional) data from our unique recording four sensor array
3. A detailed report on the surface pipline surveyed containing:
a. A section on the general uniformity of the pipeline insulation
b. A section identifying potential leaks
c. A section detailing pipe sections where joints, insulation or valves will need closer inspection
4. Maintenance interval comparison report showing any significant differences that may require a more detailed investigation.
The report conclusions will assist the client in deciding what maintenance is necessary so they can target the maintenance response cost effectively.
