Why to choose HDM Pipelines?

In practice
We often hear:
“What is the remaining life expectancy of this pipeline?”
“Is the Fit-for-service / Fit-for-Purpose?”
If often turns out that these statements trigger many other questions, making it an obscure situation. Good advisory focuses in our opinion on working towards an objective result and not towards a desirable or satisfactory outcome for the shareholders. HDM Pipelines is able to work with you to implement the improvements.
When we examine a review of corrosion failure, for example, using the API 579-1 / ASME FFS-1 protocol, we go beyond the technical content. The underlying failure mechanism provides a lot of information, which is crucial for the appropriate management. At the same time we provide practical suggestions for improvement after analyses, we provide in-depth material assessments and an input on how to mitigate the risks.
In short, we do everything possible to give an assessment analysis that will allow of contribute to a proper follow-up in practice.
