Services
Cathodic Protection Design
Cathodic protection systems prevent pipeline and tank corrosion through impressed-current or galvanic anode solutions. Our NACE-certified engineers design site-specific systems using field data to ensure long-term asset integrity. Services include AC/DC interference studies and rectifier installations for oil, gas, and water infrastructure.
Environmental Assessments
We conduct Phase I/II environmental site assessments and remediation plans for petroleum, heavy metals, and chlorinated solvents. Our team addresses contamination through Texas Risk Reduction Program compliance, SPCC plans, and groundwater studies, ensuring adherence to EPA and TCEQ regulations for commercial and industrial properties.
Leak Detection
Our leak detection services identify pipeline releases using advanced survey techniques along right-of-ways. We support regulatory compliance audits for convenience stores, fleet operators, and government facilities, providing solutions to meet Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and EPA standards.
Master Meter Compliance
We ensure natural gas distribution systems in mobile home parks and apartment complexes meet Railroad Commission of Texas requirements. Services include cathodic protection testing, gas leak surveys, and operator training to maintain compliance with federal and state pipeline safety regulations.
Coating Inspections
Our coating programs evaluate atmospheric and underground pipeline coatings for water and wastewater systems. We provide specification reviews, application training, and inspection services to maintain coating integrity, reducing corrosion risks in steel, PCCP, and DIP pipelines.
