Providing independent engineering consultancy and bespoke software solutions to pipeline operators globally within the energy and mining sectors

Engineering Consultancy

We support operators with best practice integrity management consultancy covering all credible pipeline threats.


From detailed fracture mechanics to auditing an entire PIMS, our support is industry leading.

Software Products

Working with many operators globally, we understand where their frustrations lie and have identified where efficiencies can be made. Based on these, we have developed a suite of software tools that make their lives easier.

Our bespoke builds yield maximum value from data, providing swift information to make data led decisions which results in significant cost savings.

Training and Events

The company has been built on our industry leading expertise in independent crack management consultancy.

We have therefore developed a series of bespoke training programs and also knowledge sharing events across the globe.

Summary of work to date

Since our first job in April 2020, we have been working on many pipeline systems across the globe.

We have used our management expertise for all credible threats to provide practical help to our customers, supporting a zero-incident culture.

Success Stories

Latest Case Studies

Threat-driven ILI Specification

Frontline Integrity was engaged by a gas transmission pipeline operator in Africa to maximise the value of future ILI to their integrity management program through the production of a threat-driven ILI specification.

Complex Fatigue Crack Growth Analysis

Frontline Integrity were asked to support the analysis of seam weld fatigue cracks identified as part of a targeted external Ultrasonic Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) inspection campaign for an iron ore slurry transmission pipeline operator.

Joint-by-Joint C-SCC Susceptibility Profile Development

Having recently identified a leak caused by a circumferential SCC defect, an operator reached out to Frontline Integrity to develop a susceptibility-led approach for evaluating the severity of the threat along their pipeline.

We have been contracted to support an onshore natural gas operator and review the threat of cracking along their network.
Our primary tasks include:
  • Development of a tool to assess an entire network of pipelines and identify pipelines susceptible to cracking.
  • Development of a procedure to further evaluate the threat of cracking, per pipeline.
  • Provide guidance on inspection options, field evaluation requirements, crack assessment, remediation and mitigation.
  • Support the development of a holistic crack management plan.
 

We have been contracted to support a liquid operator to manage a multi-tool ILI campaign (ultrasonic crack detection, ultrasonic wall measurement, geometry, Inertial and MFL) along multiple pipelines.

Our primary tasks include:
  • Technical review of ILI vendor reports making sure these are consistent with previous campaigns and operator construction records.
  • Make sure the knowledge collected via the extensive field verification campaign is incorporated into the data evaluation.
  • ILI Data Quality appraisal and investigating any areas where the ILI data may be ‘degraded’.
  • Make sure the knowledge collected via the extensive laboratory testing and analysis is included in the integrity assessments.
  • Supporting dig prioritization and remediation decisions for cracks, dents, corrosion etc.
  • Validating vendor tool performance in line with API 1163.
  • Technical review of third-party integrity deliverables, particularly the fatigue growth modelling.
  • Support the development of a future management strategy.

We have extensive experience in managing SCC globally and have been contracted to by a natural gas transmission operator to manage a multi-tool ILI campaign which includes EMAT crack detection, MFL, Geometry along multiple pipelines.

Our primary tasks include:
  • Technical review of ILI vendor reports ensuring these are consistent with previous campaigns.
  • Make sure the knowledge collected via the extensive field verification campaign and SCC susceptibility modelling is incorporated into the data evaluation.
  • Combine experience with EMAT technology to assess the quality data supplied by the ILI vendor.
  • Identify areas where there may be increased uncertainty and where the customer may be carrying additional risk.
  • Make sure the knowledge collected via burst tests and laboratory analysis is included in the integrity assessments.
  • Supporting dig prioritization and remediation decisions for cracks, dents, corrosion etc.
  • Validating vendor tool performance in line with API 1163.
  • Technical review of third-party integrity deliverables, particularly the SCC crack growth modelling.
  • Support the development of a future management strategy.
