This partnership leverages NDT Global's experience in liquid pipeline crack diagnosis and applies it to natural gas pipelines. Developing a new ultrasonic technology will allow for the precise detection and classification of pipeline cracks. Providing operators with accurate diagnostic data will empower effective risk mitigation, optimisation of remediation costs, and enhanced pipeline throughput.
NDT Global said that it and Enbridge's collaboration emphasises a shared commitment to the long-term safety and reliability of gas pipelines.
The multi-year development effort aims to deliver solutions that ensure a safer environment for both people and nature, reinforcing the crucial role of technology in maintaining critical infrastructure. For over 20 years, NDT Global and Enbridge have partnered to develop revolutionary technologies in the energy sector.
NDT Global said that this new phase of collaboration exemplifies the shared dedication to advancing pipeline safety and operational excellence while helping support the global energy transition, and that this development represents a significant step forward in the industry, ultimately offering unparalleled insights into pipeline integrity and setting a new standard for crack diagnosis.
