Burst pressure calculations don't always tell the full story. Learn how inaccurate fracture toughness inputs can lead to over-conservative remediation plans—and how advanced testing, engineering insight, and regulatory changes can help you strike the right balance in pipeline integrity decisions.
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.
Acuren performed a engineering, project management and integrity evaluation for inspection on a dig +20ft below a busy truck route in Chicagoland.
Acuren performed an engineering critical assessment with materials testing and fracture mechanics analysis to address defects identified by an ILI run.
