Charps highlights work on US oil and gas pipeline infrastructure in upcoming TV segment

Consumers can go behind the scenes with "All Access with Andy Garcia" to witness the critical work performed daily by the tradesmen and women of Charps. Set to film later this year, this segment will explore how their specialised skills and commitment maintain and upgrade US oil and gas pipelines. Viewers will also gain a look at PipeSense, an AI-powered technology that provides round-the-clock monitoring, acting as an intelligent guardian to safeguard communities and the environment.

"Maintaining America's energy infrastructure is about more than keeping the lights on – it's about shaping a safer, smarter future," said Joe Van Vynckt, CEO of Charps. "By merging our field-proven expertise with real-time AI technology like PipeSense, we're not only responding to today's challenges but anticipating tomorrow's needs."

The demand for energy in the US continues its upward trajectory, placing unprecedented pressure on an ageing infrastructure network, some of which has been in use for over half a century. Addressing this challenge requires not only a dedicated and highly trained workforce but also the integration of forward-thinking technological solutions. Charps says it embodies this commitment by providing a skilled team of tradespeople equipped to tackle the unique and often complex demands of pipeline maintenance and critical upgrades, frequently operating in challenging and remote terrains.

Complementing this is PipeSense, an AI system that continuously analyses pipeline condition data, capable of detecting minute anomalies in real time. The fusion of human skill and artificial intelligence aims to enhance the safety, long-term efficiency, and overall reliability of the US energy transportation network, playing a role in protecting the diverse communities through which these essential arteries run. This upcoming segment aims to broaden public understanding of the immense and often unseen effort, alongside the technological innovation, that is involved in the continuous process of keeping the US reliably powered and its environment safeguarded for the future.
