A division of ShawCor, Shaw Pipeline Services provides reliable pipeline weld inspection services to the oil and gas industry. Shaw Pipeline Services’ pipeline inspection techniques and procedures provide high-resolution weld evaluation using state of the art automated ultrasonic testing equipment.
Shaw Pipeline Services’ ultrasonic testing equipment provides weld evaluation and defect sizing assessment for automatic, semi-automatic and manual welding processes.
Our pipeline inspection capability benefits from decades of experience in the pipeline industry. Our procedures meet standard inspection specifications for Workmanship Acceptance Criteria or Alternative Acceptance Criteria based on the Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) method. We ensure that welding repairs are kept to a minimum by providing welders with quick and accurate process control feedback derived from ultrasonic inspection data.
Shaw Pipeline Services’ “total weld inspection” philosophy incorporates the use of focused probe technology, augmented by Time Of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) techniques, to accurately locate and size flaws within a weld. In dynamic offshore environments, Shaw Pipeline Services continues to meet the ever-changing demands of its customers by successfully adapting its inspection techniques to increasingly challenging technical applications through hardware and software enhancements.
