Facilities Piping Inspection

TechCorr delivers complete facilities piping inspection services across complex refining, petrochemical, offshore, and power distribution infrastructures. Our qualified NDE teams systematically evaluate operational piping circuits to detect internal erosion-corrosion, localized metal loss, stress fatigue cracking, and insidious corrosion under insulation (CUI). By synthesizing conventional testing with advanced screening methods—such as profile radiography, pulsed eddy current, and guided-wave ultrasonics—we isolate wall loss mechanisms at critical turbulence areas, deadlegs, injection points, and line supports while units operate under design pressure and temperature.

Key Capabilities

• Systematic condition monitoring across piping circuits, deadlegs, high-turbulence elbows, and product blending injection points.
• Specialized screening and quantitative assessment of corrosion under insulation (CUI) without stripping functional thermal jackets.
• Volumetric weld inspection leveraging ultrasonic and radiographic testing to detect manufacturing defects and operational cracking.
• Comprehensive corrosion rate modeling, minimum required thickness calculations, and short-term versus long-term life evaluations.
• Dual-certified API 570 and SPRAT/IRATA rope access teams for rapid examination of elevated pipe racks without scaffold requirements.

Compliance & Standards

All piping assessment methodologies and deliverables adhere to API 570 (Piping Inspection Code), API 574 (Inspection Practices for Piping System Components), API 571 (Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment), ASME B31.3 (Process Piping), ASME B31.1 (Power Piping), ASME Section V, and NACE/AMPP SP0198 for CUI mitigation.

TechCorr’s data-centric reporting equips asset owners with accurate remaining-life models and repair recommendations, preventing hazardous containment loss while lowering inspection costs through efficient rope access and targeted non-intrusive non-destructive testing.
