PIPELINE INTEGRITY DESTRUCTIVE TESTING SERVICES
Pipeline integrity requires ongoing testing of materials, welds, and components. Without a defined Integrity Management (IM) plan, the potential for dramatic and costly pipeline failures continues to be a top concern for regulatory agencies, pipeline operators and energy providers.
IMR Test Labs is a well-equipped and experienced pipeline materials testing center. Our clear, concise reports contain the necessary analyses to insure compliance with 49CFR, Part 192- the requirement that operators have full asset knowledge of assets operating in High Consequence Areas (HCA).
