Pipes, lines and cables

Several industries are involved in the functioning of our vital infrastructures, supporting the supply of food, energy, water, telecommunications, medicine and so on. It's important that these supplies are not interrupted. Pipes, lines and cables (both underground and above ground) are critical components of these infrastructures. Inspection and maintenance are crucial to ensure safe and reliable operations. Kiwa supports many operators in inspecting both above-ground and underground pipes, tubes, lines and cables ensuring quality, safety and reliability, using various techniques including visual or digital X-ray inspection or ultrasonic examination.
