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

PIPING STATISTICS

Acuren has found 25% of all of the failures we see are result of process piping failures

The average refining facility has 2-10 process piping failures annually

An effective piping program will reduce your likelihood and incidence of piping failures

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
