I have served on many NACE International pipeline corrosion control technical committees in the past, I was a pipeline industry representative on a GRI (Gas Research Institute) technical committee, I am a registered Corrosion Engineer in California, and I have worked for NGPL (Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America), Chevron Pipeline Company, Northern Natural Gas Pipeline, and BP (British Petoleum) Dome Pipeline as a pipeline corrosion engineer / integrity engineer / corrosion specialist. I have even appeared before FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) in Washington DC as a pipeline corrosion control expert witness. Therefore, I am at least experienced enough to have an opinion on this subject and I the right to defend my opinion. I even wrote the first corrosion control section draft for the very first API (American Petroleum Institute) pipeline integrity recommened practice. I give this information not to brag but to simply give sufficient background to indicate that I should know something about this subject.
The website connected to Dr. Leeds the co-developer of the DCVG technique for finding and sizing buried pipeline coating defects is located at this link. I have been trained personally by Dr. Leeds in how to do DCVG field surveys. I still have the course manual given for this training in my technical library.

I will be posting more on my blog on DCVG and other pipeline integrity methods as I have time in my busy schedule to do so.

ReplyDeleteTHis is worth a read Ron
I checked it out and it does appear to be worth reading. Not saying that I agree with everything posted there but it appears to have several good articles on pipeline integrity survey methods.
