Ahead of the grand opening of Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) Technology Development Centre (TDC) in Houston, Texas, global pipeline solutions provider, T.D.

Williamson鶹ýӳs Manager of Strategic Commercialisation, the TDC represents a major commitment by the pipeline industry to address key issues around safety and integrity, particularly in regard to inline inspection.

Advanced integrity technologies

T.D. Williamson performed three successful pull-tests, utilising 16 in. cleaning pig and 16 in. inspection tool that combined deformation and magnetic flux leakage capabilities twice.

We look forward to working with TDW to strengthen our nation鶹ýӳs vital pipeline infrastructure,鶹ýӳ he continues.
