What pipeline inspection involves

Pipeline inspection establishes the condition of a line along its length, combining in-line inspection where the line is piggable with direct assessment where it is not, and verifying both against excavation findings.

Scope of work

In-line inspection data review and dig prioritisation from MFL, ultrasonic and crack-detection runs
Guided wave screening of cased crossings and inaccessible sections
Dig verification with ultrasonic wall measurement and magnetic particle crack examination
Coating and cathodic protection survey interpretation
Girth weld examination by automated ultrasonic testing or radiography on new construction

Governing codes

ASME B31.4 and B31.8 for design and operation, B31.8S for integrity management, API 1104 for welding, and the applicable regulator's integrity management rule.

The Corpus Christi asset base

Corpus Christi is the largest US crude oil export terminal, with Cheniere's Corpus Christi LNG complex (Trains 1-3 plus the Stage 3 expansion) loading more than 15 mtpa of LNG, and Citgo's Corpus Christi Refinery, Flint Hills Resources West Refinery, and Valero's Bill Greehey complex collectively processing over 850,000 bpd. The Port of Corpus Christi has invested billions in deepening the channel to accommodate VLCCs, driving inspection demand on jetty structures, loading arms, and a dense cluster of new export-grade storage tanks. Hurricane exposure on the Texas Gulf Coast and the high cyclic loading of LNG loading operations on cryogenic equipment create a strong case for digital twin asset-integrity programmes.

How the work is controlled

Every examination carries its own evidence chain: the technician's certification for the method and level under ASNT SNT-TC-1A or ISO 9712, current on the day of inspection; the calibration status of instruments, probes, wedges and reference blocks, traceable under ISO 17025; and the revision of the procedure and technique sheet in force at the time. An ASNT NDT Level III reviews and signs the final disposition. That bundle is what a client or accreditation audit examines, and it is recorded as the work happens rather than assembled afterwards.

What you receive

A report in your required format, with findings located against the component and, where relevant, against a persistent corrosion monitoring location so trends stay continuous between campaigns
Raw data in the instrument-native format plus an open export, so the dataset outlives any single supplier relationship
The procedure revision, technician certification state and instrument calibration status applicable at the time of examination
Where a finding affects continued service, the specific code clause governing the acceptance decision
