Experienced Pipeline Inspection Specialists
At Bravura Inspection, we provide comprehensive Pipeline and Pipework Integrity Assessments in full accordance with API 570, the globally recognised standard for the inspection, rating, repair, and alteration of metallic and fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) piping systems in service.
Our experienced API-certified inspectors, working alongside PCN Level 2 technicians, deliver in-depth evaluations of piping circuits and associated pressure-relieving devices to ensure ongoing structural integrity, safety, and compliance. Using a combination of conventional and advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, we assess both above-ground and buried pipework systems across a range of industries, including petrochemical, oil and gas, power generation, and water treatment.
Every inspection is tailored to the specific material, layout, service conditions, and operational history of the piping circuit, allowing us to provide meaningful insight into asset health and remaining life expectancy. Whether you’re conducting scheduled assessments, life extension studies, or regulatory compliance checks, Bravura delivers precise, reliable data to support confident decision-making.
What are pipeline inspections?
Pipeline inspections are a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to assess the condition and integrity of pipelines that transport oil, gas, water, and other substances. These inspections are crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of pipeline systems, as they help identify potential issues such as corrosion, cracks, leaks, and other structural defects before they lead to failures or accidents.
Pipeline inspections can involve various techniques, including ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, radiographic testing, and visual inspection. These methods allow technicians to evaluate both the interior and exterior of pipelines, detecting even small defects that could compromise the pipeline’s integrity.

Benefits of our Pipe Inspection Service
Improved Safety and Reliability
Cost-Effective Maintenance
Regular inspections allow for early detection of problems, reducing the need for costly emergency repairs or replacements. By addressing issues before they escalate, we help you save on maintenance costs and avoid unexpected downtime.
Compliance with Industry Standards
Prolonged Pipeline Lifespan
By identifying and addressing issues before they become critical, our inspections contribute to the longevity of your pipeline systems. Regular monitoring and maintenance extend the lifespan of your pipelines, protecting your investment and reducing long-term costs.
On completion of inspection, a thorough ‘Fit for purpose’ report will be generated by our API Inspector, including, but not limited to:
1. Overview
A complete overview of the condition of the piping circuit including the recommended inspection interval and next inspection dates.
2. Recommendations
Recommended actions to bring the piping system into compliance with the inspection codes.
3. Compliance
Indication of remaining life based on pipe design and inspection codes.
Pipeline Mapping & Drawing Service.
Bravura Inspection can provide the service of pipeline CAD drawing including all supports, reducers, flanges ect.
