CC Technologies specializes in engineering, research, and testing of materials to provide innovative and balanced integrity solution for pipeline facilities. CC Technologies' staff provides the technical support, expertise, and experience required to develop the most feasible strategy for addressing pipeline integrity issues.

The strategy to develop and implement integrity management programs is unique for each pipeline operator. Typically, the status of integrity programs is a function of operational experience, corporate philosophy and mandates, regarding asset management. As a result, there is no singe approach that provides the best solution for all pipeline systems.

CC Technologies brings a balanced approach to pipeline integrity through four components; Assessment, Monitoring, Mitigation, and Life Extension. These components provide the means to develop a comprehensive integrity management program tailored to meet specific needs and situations for each pipeline operator and pipeline system.

ASSESSMENT is the process of evaluating relevant technical information and date to assess the integrity of the system. This assessment can focus on particular failure modes, such as external or internal corrosion, or consider all potential failure modes and consequences. These types of assessment provide the relevant data required to develop a formalized risk assessment model. Operational assessments can also be conducted to evaluate the organizational structure and resources in place within a company to assess the complete process for the pipeline integrity program. CC Technologies can provide these objective, third-party assessments.

MONITORING is the process of acquiring additional information to evaluate the susceptibility to potential integrity concerns related to external corrosion, internal corrosion, 3rd party damage, and other modes of pipeline deterioration. For example, the development and implementation of an in-line inspection or close-interval survey program can be used to further evaluate the susceptibility to external corrosion-caused metal loss. CC Technologies can assist pipeline operators in the development of programs for corrosion control and in-line inspection and provide personnel to carry-out these programs.

MITIGATION is the action required to address integrity concerns. These actions can include redemption through excavation and/or repair, modifications to operations and maintenance (cathodic protection, operating conditions), and monitoring programs. CC Technologies can assist pipeline operators in the development and design of mitigation strategies to address integrity concerns.

LIFE EXTENSION is the process of using all of the results acquired through the assessment, monitoring, and mitigation strategies to develop a long term integrity management program. The results of this process are used to identify the most appropriate strategy for continued monitoring, mitigation, and re-assessment. CC Technologies can identify the most appropriate future actions and schedules required to maintain the long term integrity of the pipeline system.
