Performance of Condition Assessment & Rehabilitation Recommendations for NKI’s Pipeline Crossings (LRUT Inspection Method and FFS)

We are proud to announce that CTS has successfully conducted Azerbaijan’s first underground pipeline inspection utilizing Advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technology, setting a new benchmark for pipeline integrity and safety in the region.
As a trusted provider of third-party inspection and engineering services, CTS was engaged to support the pipeline project with a focus on Non-Destructive Examination (NDE), Long-Range Ultrasonic Testing (LRUT), Fitness-for-Service (FFS) assessments, and comprehensive pipeline evaluations.
Scope of Work & Key Objectives:
- Data Collection & Analysis – Evaluating the current and future conditions of NKI’s pipeline network.
- Advanced Condition Assessment – Implementing state-of-the-art technologies for precise and efficient inspections.
- Deterioration Detection – Identifying potential weaknesses in pipeline infrastructure.
- Risk Assessment – Analyzing the likelihood of leaks, ruptures, corrosion, and hydraulic inefficiencies.
- Contingency Planning – Developing strategic repair solutions for potential failures.
- Repair & Rehabilitation Recommendations – Providing expert guidance on timely and effective maintenance actions.
This milestone underscores CTS’s commitment to innovation, safety, and excellence in pipeline inspection and integrity management.
