Pipeline Integrity 

With over 40 years of experience, advanced technology, and a highly skilled workforce, JANX delivers comprehensive pipeline integrity services to help operators ensure the reliability and safety of their pipelines. Our industry-leading non-destructive testing (NDT) methods provide accurate and detailed data, supporting operators in making informed decisions to protect people, property, and the environment.

Comprehensive Pipeline Integrity Solutions

JANX provides pipeline integrity solutions using a variety of NDT methods, including:

  • Laser Scanning & 3D Modeling – Assessing corrosion, dents, and structural integrity
  • Material Verification – MEGA rule compliant with the use of the MMTs testing technologies.
  • Guided Wave Examination – Detecting defects in long pipeline sections
  • Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – Manual, semi-automated, and automated ultrasonic inspections
  • Automated Laser Profilometry – High-precision surface profiling for defect detection

Key Pipeline Integrity Services

Location Assurance

Ensuring that excavation occurs in the correct pipeline section by leveraging advanced mapping and verification techniques.

Inspection Verification

JANX supports Pipeline Integrity Management (PIM) programs by collecting real-world field data from excavations and comparing it to baseline assessments derived from direct assessment programs, in-line inspections (ILI), and soil models. This ensures pipeline operators receive accurate integrity assessments while refining their ongoing risk management strategies.

Environmental Verification

JANX collects crucial environmental data at excavation sites to refine risk models and support preventive maintenance strategies. This includes:

  • GPS mapping of feature locations
  • Topographical data and soil composition
  • Groundwater pH and cathodic potential measurements
  • Soil resistivity and corrosion-related properties
  • Depth of cover assessments
  • Corrosion agent identification
  • Vintage coating assessments

Pipeline Inspection

We perform detailed inspections using industry-leading NDT techniques to identify pipeline defects and material properties:

Conventional NDT Methods:

Advanced Inspection Tools:

  • Ultrasonic Phased Array (PAUT)
  • Creaform 3D Laser Scanning
  • Automated UT Thickness Mapping
  • Pulsed Eddy Current (Eddyfi Lyft)
  • PMI Analysis (Sciaps LIBS & XRF)
  • Hardness, Strength, and Ductility (HSD) Testing

Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) Sizing

Our qualified technicians use advanced ultrasonic techniques, including phased array UT and phased array FMC/TFM, to provide better resolution for accurately sizing stress corrosion cracking in pipelines and other assets. These high-precision imaging methods deliver more dependable results, empowering decision-makers with reliable data for proactive maintenance and risk mitigation.

Repair Quality Control (QC)

Once anomalies are detected and repairs are made, JANX ensures repair quality through NDE techniques and Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) services. Additionally, we provide grinding repairs for defects such as arc strikes, gouges, and stress corrosion cracking.

Coating Inspection

JANX performs coating inspections during pipeline recoating ensuring compliance with protective coating standards.

Integrity Assurance Reporting

JANX provides detailed Integrity Assurance Reports summarizing the data collected from field inspections. These reports are critical for pipeline operators and regulatory authorities in assessing compliance and making strategic integrity management decisions.

Pipeline Integrity Benefits

✔ Provides essential data for comprehensive integrity management
✔ Helps protect people, the environment, and property
✔ Reduces the risk of pipeline failures and costly disruptions
✔ Ensures compliance with industry codes and standards
✔ Supports operators of all pipeline sizes and projects

Economic & Environmental Impact

Reducing Costs & Enhancing Pipeline Efficiency

Pipeline incidents cost the industry tens of millions of dollars annually. JANX Integrity Assurance Programs help operators optimize maintenance investments, reducing unnecessary spending and preventing costly failures. Our inspections and reporting assist in targeting high-risk areas and improving regulatory compliance, thereby enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Social & Environmental Responsibility

Pipelines transport hazardous materials under high pressure and over long distances, making integrity management crucial for public safety and environmental protection. JANX supports sustainability efforts by delivering high-quality data that enables operators to:

  • Reduce environmental risks associated with pipeline failures
  • Mitigate corrosion-related damage through accurate assessments
  • Strengthen integrity management programs with real-world field data

Maximizing Productivity in PIM Projects

JANX helps operators achieve significant improvements in project efficiency through advanced technology and experienced personnel. Our use of tools like Laser Scanning, AUT, TOFD, and Phased Array enhances the accuracy, speed, and reliability of integrity assessments, minimizing downtime and maximizing cost efficiency.

With a strong commitment to safety, accuracy, and reliability, JANX plays a vital role in the long-term success of pipeline integrity management programs.
