Faced with anomaly-related pressure reductions and ambiguous ILI results, a client turned to Acuren's engineering team for a comprehensive integrity solution. Acuren managed nitrogen purging, anomaly cutouts, spike and hydrotesting, and pipeline restoration, securing a five-year reassessment interval and re-establishing MOP. Through strategic planning and contingencies, the project exceeded expectations, finishing early and under budget.
To address pipeline cover loss affecting pre-1980 infrastructure, a Midwest petroleum company partnered with Acuren's engineering team to develop a comprehensive monitoring program. The team created a process for identifying high-risk areas and implementing solutions, crucial given recent shallow-burial incidents. Their innovative approach combined public awareness with creative mitigation strategies, resulting in 95% cost savings while ensuring pipeline safety.
Acuren performed a engineering, project management and integrity evaluation for inspection on a dig +20ft below a busy truck route in Chicagoland.
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.
