Our crack assessment services include:

• Assess the efficacy of reported inspection data
• Advise on defect acceptance or severity
• Analyse growth by fatigue or environmental factors
• Prepare evaluation timelines
• Provide optimal re-inspection intervals

Pipelines are routinely examined with in-line inspection tools for corrosion and cracking. Often this information is not exploited to provide a cost-beneficial integrity management program.

In order to implement or make the transition to planned preventative maintenance, pipeline assets must be characterized in more detail.

• Electric resistance welding (ERW) weld defects
• Stress Corrosion Cracking assessment (SCC)
• Hydrotest parameters and re-test interval
• Fitness for purpose assessment – based on fracture mechanics in accordance to API 579
• Evaluation of In-line Inspection (ILI) anomalies

Pipelines have a cost to install, a life-cycle, a cost to maintain, and then – ultimately – a cost to replace. Minimize your costs with accurate, timely assessments from Lamontagne Pipeline Assessment Corporation.
