Pipeline Construction Quality Services
Pipeline operators and stakeholders around the world are obliged to focus on implementing effective quality management during the construction of a pipeline through an organized framework. All these efforts help reduce the current or future security threats of the pipeline.
If a proper strategy for quality assurance is enforced during construction, the chance for a leak or rupture will be reduced significantly, ensuring a drive towards zero injuries, incidents and occupational hazards.
