Simply put, there are so many pipelines in the ground around us that line strikes are inevitable. The result of these incidents can either be catastrophic in nature, relativly minor or anywhere in between.

We all know that digging can be an expensive and time consuming process so it makes sense to triage the damage adn pin point the areas of concern.

Techniques

Alta-West has a complete compliment of cutting edge tools used to assess pipelines for external coating damage and to quantify the results. Some of these techniques include:

Current Attenuation
ACVG
DCVG
Close Interval Surveys
Depth of cover surveys and GPS locates.
