PCA services

Our Expertise

ADE’s Pipeline Condition Assessment (PCA) department provides data and information concerning the performance of pressure water pipelines using a variety of methodologies and techniques based on pipe material. Our work is rooted in more than 30 years’ experience in the manufacture, installation, operation and performance of pipes and pipelines. Outcomes include the probability of failure and failure regimes for pipeline sections.

Our methodologies & techniques are:
Fit for purpose, addressing the failure mechanism for the relevant pipeline material and operational constraints
Cost effective
Equipped for providing quantitative outputs, which in turn can be extrapolated in space and time, producing data for both past and future performance
We enable our clients to:
Come to informed decisions
Identify high risk pipelines or sections of pipelines
Develop a Capital Expenditure Program for up to 20 years
Meet regulatory requirements
Make cost-effective decisions regarding pipeline replacement or maintenance
