Experienced Pipeline Inspection Specialists
Bravura can offer Integrity assessments of Pipelines & Pipework to API 570. API 570 covers the inspection, rating, repair and alteration procedures for metallic and FRP piping circuits and their associated pressure-relieving devices that have been in service.
Using conventional and Specialist NDT Techniques our API inspectors & PCN Level 2 Technicians provide an insight as to the condition of the piping. The scope of each inspection depends on a multitude of factors such as the material of construction and whether the piping circuit is positioned above or below ground.
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.
