Where do lined pipelines show up in oil & gas? At PICA, we see them most in corrosive service: produced & saltwater lines, H₂S service, and CO₂ injection. Lined pipes can be inspected. That’s where PICA focuses. 🔗 bit.ly/4pxzOMX #OilAndGas #PipelineIntegrity

Pipeline inspection updates only matter when they inform compliance, performance, and risk decisions. PICA’s newsletter shares focused insights on inspection technology, field lessons, and real asset risk considerations—clearly and concisely. Subscribe: bit.ly/4snXLqM

Before you replace, get the facts. Inspection pinpoints where deterioration is and how severe it is, so capital goes to the right fixes first. Read the full article on the cost of inspection vs. replacement: bit.ly/4uREr7w #PipelineIntegrity #PipelineInspection

Replacement feels safe when pipeline condition is uncertain—but it’s also irreversible and capital-intensive. Our latest blog examines the cost and risk tradeoffs between inspection and replacement. Read the full blog post here: bit.ly/4uREr7w #PipelineIntegrity

Most pipeline failures start where you can’t see them. In our interview with Martin Coghill, we explore why visual inspections aren’t enough and how RFT data reveals hidden cylinder corrosion before leaks occur. Full conversation: bit.ly/4lQTJFf

Meet PICA at AZ Water 2026 | Phoenix | Apr 28–30. Learn how #NDT and condition assessment help utilities reduce risk and inspect pipelines without service disruption. PICA will also present the TRA inspection and HSI rope access abstracts. Event details: bit.ly/4uYcV8v

Bar-wrapped steel cylinder pipe is still widely used, often with limited visibility into wall loss. Unlike PCCP, risk centers on steel cylinder corrosion. Remote Field Testing (RFT) measures remaining wall thickness and broken bars in-line. Full post: bit.ly/3QCHwbJ

A $4M inspection helped defer a $150M pipeline replacement. In our latest interview, Martin Coghill explains how risk-based inspection drives smarter capital decisions across 308 miles of transmission mains. Read the full article: bit.ly/4lQTJFf #WaterUtilities

You’ve completed a #PCCP inspection. You now have wire-break counts, EM signals, and pages of results. So what do you do next? PICA Corp and @SGH_Engineering explain how inspection data becomes risk-based repair decisions. 🔗 Full article: bit.ly/4qW4NlJ

PICA Corp will be at the AMPP Annual Conference + Expo 2026 📍 Houston | Mar 15–19. Connect with our team to discuss corrosion-focused NDT, pipeline inspection, and risk-based integrity strategies. 🔗 Event details: bit.ly/3P86n6z #PICACorp #AMPP2026

Want pipeline inspection insight without the noise? PICA’s newsletter shares practical field takeaways, emerging inspection trends, and real-world perspectives on managing risk and aging assets. Subscribe here: bit.ly/4pLirrb #PipelineIntegrity #AssetManagement

A #PCCP transmission main fails without warning. No leaks. No alarms. Just disruption. In our latest article published in @trenchlesstech with @SGH_Engineering, we show how EM data drives risk-based decisions so utilities can act before failure. 🔗: bit.ly/4qW4NlJ

PICA is proud to participate in the AMPP Alberta Conference 2026 in Calgary (Feb 9–12). This year’s focus: Infrastructure Resilience to Corrosion during Energy Transition. Our Founder, Dave Russell, will join a panel sharing insights on corrosion, NDT, and asset integrity.

#PICA completed inspection of a 203 mm (8” inch) unlined carbon steel fuel transfer pipeline at an Eastern Canada marine terminal. Using Advanced #RFT, our team assessed ~1,600 m (5,250 ft) of pipe to deliver high-resolution condition data supporting safe, reliable operations.

#RFT and #NFT aren’t interchangeable—especially for concrete pressure pipe. NFT detects broken prestressing wires in PCCP. RFT evaluates the condition and corrosion of steel cylinders, supporting a broader assessment across PCCP, RCCP, and BWP. More here: bit.ly/4jOCYtq

Single-method inspections only reveal part of a pipeline’s condition. Multi-solution programs combine EM, acoustic, and visual data for a fuller, more reliable assessment that strengthens rehab and capital decisions. 👉 Learn more: bit.ly/4qOyt4g #PipelineIntegrity

Inspection data plays a critical role in #capitalplanning. It helps organizations understand asset condition, prioritize investment, and target rehabilitation where risk is highest—rather than relying on age or assumptions. Learn more at bit.ly/4pxzOMX #AssetManagement

PICA will be speaking at #UIC2026 alongside customer partner TRA on Jan 27 at 8:00 AM. We’ll share how data-driven pipeline inspection helps owners identify risk, prioritize rehab, and manage assets proactively. Learn more: picacorp.com/event/explore-… #PipelineIntegrity #PICA

Our monthly newsletter is live! Each month, we share concise insights on inspection trends, field experience, and smarter planning for aging pipeline infrastructure to help teams reduce risk and stay ahead. Subscribe: bit.ly/4pLirrb #PipelineIntegrity #Infrastructure

What does strong safety governance look like in the field? At PICA, it means quarterly #safety audits on active projects—conducted alongside crews during live operations because safety has to hold up under real conditions. Learn more: bit.ly/3LbVYFD #PipelineIntegrity
