Metallurgical Services and Operations Support

OUR SOLUTIONS

EN Consulting provides in-depth metallurgical and operations expertise. Our
diverse capabilities include failure analysis, development of welding
procedures, corrosion analysis, review development of pipeline integrity
programs, and performing engineering critical assessments (ECA).

With more than 40 years of experience, our experts come from diverse
backgrounds, ranging from gas transmission and operations, to manufacturing
and line pipe research. Our past projects include some of the first
cross-country work on X-70 line pipe runs, development of welding procedures
for hot-tapping pressurized pipelines, and failure investigations on a
variety of pipe materials, pressure vessels, and pipeline compressor station
components. Our experience in the preparation of specifications, steel and
line pipe manufacturing, and maintenance of pipeline components provide an
added asset to our support services.
