Our Engineering team is ready to partner with you on your Asset Integrity management system challenge. 

Engineering Critical Assessment 
Structural Reliability Analysis  - assessing propability of small leak, large leak and/or burst.

We have expertise to assess anomalies from In-line inspection (ILI) or any NDT results, and determine the fitness for Service, applying Fracture mechanics from Level 1 up to Level 2. Corrosion damage such as pitting or Microbial Induced Corrosion, Geometric defects such as dents and Crack-like defects are all assessed using either API 579 methodologies and/or DNV and/or PRCI recommended practice. 

Our Engineering team is ready to partner with you on any engineering assessment challenge. For more information refer to the brochure below:

Geo-Hazard assessment and Integrity Incident management 

Injurious damage on pipelines such as stray current corrosion causing deep localized pitting and geo-hazard damage causing pipe buckling are all regarded as Integrity incidents. They all require a pragmatic approach to determine the direct cause and root causes. 

In this way, appropriate measures can be determined to prevent further damage and recurrence.

Our Engineering team is ready to partner with you in any Geo-Hazard assessment and Integrity Incident investigation, applying best practices such as API RP 585 or RCA techniques.

Corrosion Growth Rate Assessment 

AC Corrosion Criteria

We are well aware of Global trends with regards to AC/DC Stray current corrosion. We make use of Global resources such as PRCI to determine credible Corrosion Growth Assessment (CGR) based on the corrosivity, presence of AC stray currents, inspection/anomaly data and probability theory. 

We have knowledge and tools for modelling data statistically using cutting edge software i.e. Mathematica software.

We also offer support with regards to AC/DC stray current investigations and mitigation.

Inspection management

Our experience in pipeline operations and inspection of piggable and unpiggable pipelines is extensive. We offer sound knowledge and support in ILI, MTM, SCT and ECDA projects. 

On ILI/MTM/SCT/ECDA projects, we provide critical services not limited to preparations, training of staff, operating manuals and procedures, coordination between service provider and Operational teams and overall execution of inspection operations.

Our Engineering team is ready to add value to your next Inspection project.

SCT or MTM support services

Environmental Solutions

Greenhouse Gases (GHG) & Carbon Tax compliance

We are well aware of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) codes and the associated formulae for determining Carbon Dioxide and Methane for various industries.

We provide insights and solutions to ensure compliance to the South African  NEMA Air Quality Act No. 39 of 2004, relating to reporting of GHG's on SAGERS system.

We also provide insights and solutions to ensure compliance to the South African Revenue Services (SARS) Carbon Tax Act 15 of 2019 for GHG's emissions.

Our team is ready to tackle your compliance challenge on GHG emissions.
