Pipelines are generally the most economical way to transport large quantities of oil, refined oil products or natural gas as compared to other means such as rail transport and tanker service.

The pipelines transport sometimes highly corrosive fluid and that leads to various types of corrosion damage such as metal loss and pitting corrosion and extent of corrosion sometimes exceed the design specified limits. In such situation damage assessments as per ASME B31G, DNV-RP-F101 can be done to document the remaining life of the pipeline with sustained damage or repair method can be suggested.

Environmental damage resulting from oil pipeline attacks.

AGT consultants with sound knowledge of material technology and pipeline technology can offer PDA services for damage assessment.
