Pipeline Integrity
The Colt Pipeline Integrity group is an integral component of the Colt Pipeline Unit, and specializes in project management, engineering and integrity analysis of pipelines, pipeline systems and related facilities.
Our full-service approach allows pipeline integrity to be developed and integrated at any point in the design or operational life of pipelines and related facilities. For new pipelines and infrastructure, integrity begins at the project conception stage and allows for risk mitigation and long-term optimized performance to be built into the final
design. For existing pipelines and related infrastructure, we offer assessment, monitoring, repair-priority ranking and the development of long-term integrity management programs.
We develop the optimum program for clients, addressing due diligence, regulatory compliance audits, program development and sustained program implementation. Our in-house integrity specialists can supplement our clients' existing pipeline integrity skill sets and teams, or develop and implement a turnkey program from conception to completion.
