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 brochures 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 , 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.
