Integrity Assessment

Pipelines can experience many forms of damage during their life, ranging from damage introduced at the time of manufacturing and construction, through to in-service damage due to corrosion or external interference. To establish the short and long term integrity of damaged pipelines, it is important to assess if the damage affects the integrity of the pipeline under the given loading conditions.

• Corrosion defects
• Dents
• Weld defects
• Manufacturing defects
• Crack like defects
• Thermal buckling
• Spans
• Exposures
• Lateral displacement (due to anchors, ground movement, etc.)

• Finess of Purpose Studies (FFP)
