From an NDT finding to a traceable decision: How to connect field data, GIS, and integrity management The challenge doesn’t end when an indication is detected. It begins when that information must be transmitted from the field, retain its context, and lead to a technical decision that can be reconstructed later. Non-destructive testing (NDT) provides […]
Industrial Inspection: Outsourcing an NDT campaign allows for the incorporation of specialists and advanced technologies to assess the condition of an asset. However, outsourcing should not create a disconnect between technical execution and the controls of the Occupational Safety and Health Management System (SG-SST). Decree 1072 of 2015 establishes that employers must have procedures in […]
In demanding industries such as oil, petrochemicals, power generation, and heavy manufacturing, asset management is not just an operational practice—it is the cornerstone of safety, business continuity, and financial profitability. When a critical pressure vessel, a pipe, or a storage tank shows signs of deterioration due to corrosion, fatigue, or cracks, the organization faces an […]
In industrial projects, technical information is one of the most important assets for ensuring the continuity, safety, and compliance of operations. Every drawing, calculation report, technical specification, procedure, or inspection record serves as evidence of the decisions made during the course of a project. However, records management is still often viewed as an administrative task […]
Timely evaluation can prevent critical consequences. Knowing when to perform an NDT inspection (non-destructive testing) on an asset is a decision that must not be taken lightly. Whether to comply with standards such as API 510, API 570, API 653, or to prevent failures in continuous operation, NDT inspections are a key tool in mechanical […]
Cathodic protection is essential to prevent corrosion in pipelines, tanks and metallic structures, but its effectiveness depends on constant evaluation. Without proper diagnosis, problems such as premature failure, accelerated corrosion or electrical interference can occur, compromising asset integrity. To assist integrity engineers and cathodic protection specialists, we have developed a Technical Checklist with 16 key […]
In the field of integrity engineering and cathodic protection, making strategic decisions based on accurate data is essential to prevent failures in critical infrastructure such as pipelines, industrial plants, and storage systems. But how can you ensure your strategies are truly effective? Asset optimization relies not only on experience but also on advanced tools that […]

Sacrificial anodes are elements that are installed in pipes or tanks so that the whole system is free of corrosion, when they are implemented they displace all the corrosion towards them and thus protect the metal. In order to generate this effect, the materials to be used must be pure, such as zinc, magnesium or […]
Myth: off-shore wind energy is not a viable renewable energy option. Reality: Offshore wind has been around for about 20 years and has become an important part of the energy mix in the developed countries of the world. Some of the best wind resources in the United States are offshore, which have the added benefit […]
