Combatting Flange Face Erosion and Corrosion with Advanced PAUT Solutions
In oil and gas operations, where unsafe practices can lead to costly failures, flange face erosion and corrosion pose critical threats. These issues compromise refinery infrastructure, turning small flaws into major liabilities. With each flange connection vital to pipeline integrity, failures can cause leaks, unplanned downtimes, and lost revenue. This case study highlights strategies to combat these hidden dangers, ensuring safety, efficiency, and uninterrupted energy flow for global markets.

Acuren Helps American Paleo Find and Preserve Fossils
Acuren’s experts partnered with Ohio’s American Paleo to find and preserve fossils using computed radiography (CR). Acuren was tasked with radiographing soft shale, calcite and pyrite, to locate fossils. Our team was able to successfully and safely utilize computed radiography’s benefits over traditional methods to complete the project.

Solution Brief – Emergency Engineering Expertise Restores Critical Asset to Operation
During a turnaround at a gas plant, pressure testing was performed on a sulphur condenser’s (the “vessel”) shell side. The vessel was accidentally overpressured to 5.3 times its MAWP (maximum allowable working pressure). A new vessel would have cost over a million dollars and would have taken over 6 months to be built. Acuren performed Level 3 API 579-ASME FFS-1 Fitness for Service, followed by different NDE techniques, hardness testing and strain gauging during a pressure test. We worked very closely with the regulator and the customer to eventually bring the vessel back to service.

Underside of Bridge Emergency Water Main Repair
There are two 30 inch diameter ¼” wall thickness steel water mains, which run along the underside of the bridge over a river way, that provide major water distribution to the community. The leak locations were difficult to access and on pipe which had an old asbestos coating. Acuren’s engineering and rope access crew provided a safe, economical, and timely repair solution to get the lines back into operating condition.
Complex Deep Excavation Integrity Inspection Completed In Time and Under Budget
Acuren performed a engineering, project management and integrity evaluation for inspection on a dig +20ft below a busy truck route in Chicagoland.
Perfecting Data Inputs for Accurate Crack Assessment and Better Integrity Management
Acuren performed an engineering critical assessment with materials testing and fracture mechanics analysis to address defects identified by an ILI run.
Right Sizing Integrity Digs with Desktop and Field Validation
Pipeline integrity management is essential for safety but can be resource-intensive, with investigating a single below-grade threat costing $20,000 to $200,000 or more. When inspections reveal numerous potential threats, a prescriptive approach can become prohibitively expensive. Partnering with experienced integrity engineers can optimize spending and improve efficiency. For example, leveraging advanced validation technology, our team helped a client save over $7 million by reducing required digs by half.

Unparalleled Execution In The Rope Access Light Mechanical Space
Our client, a chemical plant located in east Texas was struggling to have a particular rope access scope of work completed by another provider. When it became clear that progress was falling further behind schedule, and the provider requested more money and time to complete, the client decided to terminate that arrangement. Acuren’s competitive bid was selected to finish the remaining work which included installation of insulation/jacketing on head of vessel, 9 rings, transition and 19 pipe support areas on a 230’ tower utilizing rope access.
