Pipeline Inspection & Integrity Management Services
Fairtex provides comprehensive pipeline inspection and integrity management services for crude oil, gas transmission, and process pipeline systems across onshore and offshore assets in Nigeria. Our services are designed to ensure pipeline safety, operational reliability, regulatory compliance, and lifecycle integrity through advanced inspection technologies and structured pigging operations.
We support operators with full-cycle pipeline integrity solutions including in-line inspection (ILI), pigging operations, cleaning, gauging, dewatering, and integrity assessment studies. Fairtex combines field execution capability with engineering expertise to support both routine inspection programs and complex pipeline maintenance campaigns.
Typical applications: crude oil pipelines, gas transmission lines, export pipelines, offshore flowlines, refinery pipelines, terminal transfer lines, and industrial process piping networks.
What this service covers
In-Line Inspection (ILI) Services
Fairtex provides in-line inspection using MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage), TFI (Transverse Field Inspection), caliper tools, EMAT (Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer), and ultrasonic technologies for detection of metal loss, cracks, deformation, and pipeline geometry anomalies. These inspections support detailed integrity assessment and risk-based maintenance planning.
