Facilities Piping Management Programs
WHY PIPING PROGRAMS? Piping Leaks? Piping Failures? Losing Revenue and Time? Acuren has piping programs specifically tailored to address your above-ground facility piping program needs.
Facility Piping Management Programs
- Experienced Engineers and API inspectors develop piping management programs to ensure regulatory and insurance compliance
- Obtain missing key information (Isometrics, P&ID’s, PFD’s) that prevents you from executing your piping program
- Assess as standalone or integrated program:
- Small bore piping
- Dead Legs
- Structural supports
- Flange inspections
- High Energy Piping
- Corrosion Under Insulation
- Corrosion Under Pipe Supports
- Buried piping systems
- Pipeline Integrity Support

NDE Methods For Piping Inspection
Acuren knows where to look for the relevant damage mechanisms utilizing the latest technologies:
- Moisture Detection Imaging (MDI) – Compton Backscatter
- Radiographic methods: Real Time Radiography (RTR), Computed Radiography (CR), Digital Radiography (DR), traditional
- Advanced Ultrasonic Inspections (PAUT, TOFD, AUT, Guided Wave (GUL), flange scanning)
- Infrared Thermography (IR)
- Laser Scanning and mapping
- Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) measurements
- Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC)
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
- HawkEye External Corrosion Screening Tool
- Indirect inspections of facility piping (CIPS, ACVG, DCVG, ACCA)
- Locate areas with coating anomalies and deficient CP
- Other traditional NDE methods
Engineering
- Perform failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA)
- Develop integrity operating windows (IOW’s)
- Create and implement Risk Based Inspection (RBI) programs
- Perform equipment failure analysis
- Fitness for service assessments (API 579)
- Piping Stress and finite elemental analysis (FEA)
- Pipeline Integrity Engineering Services
Cathodic Protection
