Corrpro Canada

Once the condition of the pipeline is known, the scope of the program and the suitable repair methodologies can be determined. The work programs are implemented by Corrpro field crews who are trained to perform integrity excavations on "live" pipelines. An excavation data sheet is completed at each site to record various elements which will be valuable in determining the overall situation and to feedback into the integrity and risk management process. Assessment of the defects are made by integrity specialists who accurately size the defects and determine their impact on the pipeline. The assessments are done through specialized computer engineering programs and non-destructive testing instrumentation.

The Corrpro RCS B-Scan ultrasonic inspection unit is capable of detailed mapping of internal flaws so all anomalies can be assessed while the pipeline is in service. If mechanical repair becomes necessary, Corrpro construction crews provide the solutions. The various permanent repair methods available require crews who are capable of installing welded and non-welded sleeves, line purging and sectional line replacements, stripping and applying protective coatings, and stopple technologies to name a few.

These repair systems are backed by up-to-date implementation procedures to insure reliable and lasting repairs. The repairs are documented and discussed in the project final report, and added to the pipeline integrity database.
