PID Manager’s Statement

My Inspectors attach the greatest and uncompromising importance to a safe, timely and successful completion of every contract. All projects are carefully planned, managed and executed to ensure that the highest standards of quality are maintained and the best interests of our clients are served.

With the guidance of our Policies and Guidelines, Inspectors are trained and certified in their relative discipline. Our greatest strength has been to maintain a work environment in which good industrial relations prevail and are fortunate to have highly qualified, skilled and competent personnel who are determined and committed to performing each task in the highest traditions of their relative discipline.

Flexible And Collapsible Probe

E-PIT (External Pipe Integrity Tool) For Pipeline or Boiler Tubes 

• This unique 7 ½” x 1’ ¾” square tool allows the inspector to get a full integrity of the inspected area to allow proper determination of deterioration rate of the material, which will assist clients in making sound judgment calls in their maintenance and/or preventative maintenance program.
• The E-PIT TOOL cover an area at a forward uniform speed of 0.15m/sec@ a sample rate of up to 1000 samples/second, leaving virtually no chance of missing critical flaws when compared to conventional Ultrasonic Testing with a portable probe for spot checking inspection.

• The I-Pit System represents a new technological breakthrough for the rapid inspection of pipelines for internal and external flaw and is especially designed for pit detection and sizing.
• A typical I-Pit tool is shown, just after inspection of a 6” (150mm), 0.284” (7.1mm) wall thickness of seamless pipeline. The internal deposits of wax, oil and sand do not affect the detection of pit in line.

• This unique 1’x 1’ square tool allows our inspector to get a full integrity of the inspected area to allow proper determination of deterioration rate of the material, which will assist our clients in making sound judgment calls in their maintenance and/or preventative maintenance program.
• The FLOOR SCANNER TOOL covers an area at a forward uniform speed of 0.15m/sec@ a sample rate of up to 1000 samples/second, leaving very little chance of misting critical flaws when compared to conventional Ultrasonic testing with a portable probe for spot checking inspection.

Our WALL CRAWLER is used to assist our E – Pit Tool when inspecting Boiler Tubes on heights

• Our Wall Crawler tool replaces the traditional method of erecting scaffolding and cleaning  to bare metal where the ultrasonic thickness readings are to be taken when inspecting boiler water wall tubes.
• Scaffolding and cleaning cost often exceed $100,000 TTD. This cost is completely eliminated.
• We can inspect the flame side of the tube to within 3/8” of each web, using 12 detection coils for high precision. Pits as small as 1/8” diameter can be detected.

• There is a demand in the market for improved probability of detection (P.O.D) and exceptional accuracy for sizing of corrosion pits. Competing tools that use Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) require intimate contact with the pipe wall in order to achieve acceptable flaw sizing. Unfortunately many pipelines have internal deposits of wax, scale or sand and others are lined with cement mortar, epoxy or polyethylene, preventing the effective use of MFL tools.
• See Snake technology, on the other hand, requires no contact with the pipe wall and can measure through scale, wax and non – magnetic liners. In fact, See Snake tools have a clearance of 0.250” (6.3mm) to allow passage of the tool past weld roots, dents and internal deposits.
• Just like a real snake, See Snake tools are flexible. So flexible in fact that they can be made to negotiate multiple 90 degree welded elbows.
• See Snake Tools are completely water proof and can be pumped through the pipeline with the product flow, or with compressed air.

• It is equally sensitivity to internal and external thinning and can size general thinning to within 10% of the actual remaining wall thickness.
•   A valuable feature of the tool is its ability to measure the wall-thickness of the casing without having to be in direct contact with the walls, and without having to clean any scale built up. In fact, The tool clearance within the well is an amazing 3” (75mm). Soft centralizers are used to center the tool, without the possibility of damaging the casing in thin areas.
•   A wireline provides power to the tool and is used to lower it into the well. 
• Data analysis is semi-automatic and results are presented as chart logs, voltage planes, colour maps, histograms and a spreadsheet showing the inspected results.
