CORROSION INSPECTION AND ENGINEERING

Corrosion Inspection
Corrosion and coating problems can be addressed in oil and gas handling facilities and pipelines with BNL testing and consulting services. The combination of the latest laboratory techniques and innovative field testing methods provides the best information to solve corrosion problems. Regular services include:

• Annual Manifold Visual Inspection
• Monthly CP Facility Inspection (optional)
• Bi Annual Cathodic Protection Inspection
• Corrosivity Survey
• X-ray and DPI test
• Vibration survey
• Sand monitoring
• Flow line and non-piggable Pipeline inspection
• Manifold UT Inspection
• Coating Inspection
• Riser inspection

The activities carried out in the services above include:

• Flowline and non pig-able pipeline inspection
• CP Survey
• UT Inspection
• Coating Inspection
• Manifold inspection
• Riser Inspection
