Pipelines

Corrosion is one of nature's many destructive forces, weakening metals of all types in little time at all. When performing condition monitoring for a pipeline, corrosion is often the number one issue that you need be on the lookout for.

All forms of corrosion that occur on a pipeline need to be dealt with as soon as possible, as left untreated this corrosion may cause your pipeline to weaken and potentially fail. It's also much easier to treat corrosion as it appears and work to prevent it than to try and repair a pipeline that has already been damaged by serious corrosion especially when it comes to cost. 

Corrosion may be incredibly damaging to a pipeline, but, thankfully, there are ways to treat and prevent it. Depending on the type of corrosion that you are dealing with as well as the material and structure of your pipeline, you may be able to prevent corrosion using solutions such as corrosion inhibitors, coating your pipeline with corrosion-resistant paints, plating your pipeline with metallic platings, and modifying the environmental conditions that your pipeline is exposed to.
