Integrated pipeline integrity & risk expertise

Optimize your pipeline operations with MISTRAS’ integrated integrity and risk services. Our team delivers end-to-end solutions covering risk modeling, data analytics, consequence analysis, compliance consulting, and more.

Maintaining safe and reliable pipelines is critical for operators in the oil and gas industry. MISTRAS’ Pipeline Integrity & Risk Services provide a holistic approach to identify potential threats, minimize downtime, and ensure regulatory compliance. Our offerings encompass a comprehensive range of solutions—from advanced risk modeling and data analytics to specialized assessments and reporting.

Data analytics and modeling

Our team leverages statistical analysis, modeling, and machine learning to extract actionable insights from large datasets.

• Predict corrosion, mechanical damage, and geohazard risks
• Generate advanced predictive models for maintenance planning
• Streamline integrity programs with data-driven insights

Consequence analysis

We perform robust assessments of potential impacts to inform emergency planning and regulatory compliance.

• High Consequence Area/Moderate Consequence Area (HCA/MCA) Analysis for gas pipelines
• Spill modeling (overland flow, channel flow, air dispersion) for liquids
• Class Location, EFRD location reviews, and route optimization

Integrity analysis

We conduct in-depth evaluations to confirm the structural soundness of pipelines under various operating conditions.

• Maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) verification
• Engineering Critical Assessments
• Comprehensive risk analyses to address vulnerabilities
• Recommendations to minimize downtime and extend asset life

Integrity management consulting

MISTRAS tailors integrity practices to fit your unique operational and regulatory landscape.
