Pipeline Engineering Assessments
ILI Data Analysis That Goes Beyond Traditional Reporting
Our engineering team performs engineering assessments in all areas of pipeline integrity management that are critical to the maintenance and lifecycle management of pipeline infrastructure. To ensure analytic integrity, all Qi2 Elements pipeline data analysts and technicians are trained and certificated in ANSI/ASNT ILI-PQ-2010 In-Line Inspection Personnel Qualification and Certification Standard.
