PICA

PICA has been performing condition assessments of pipelines in the USA and Canada since the early 1990's. Our home office is located in Alberta, Canada near where our sister company (Russell NDE Systems Inc.) designs and manufactures the In-Line Inspection Tools that PICA uses. Our specialty is a unique electromagnetic technology, contained in flexible, pressure sealed, in-line inspection Tools, that allow ferritic pipelines (ductile iron, cast-iron and steel) to be inspected for corrosion pits, graphitic corrosion, eroded areas and cracks. Customers who take a proactive approach to assess the condition of their pipelines using our Tools report savings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and in one case over $10,000,000! Our strength is in our people. Our sister company employs the team that engineered the original Tools and have since gone on to develop even better electronics, hardware and software used in our modern See Snake and HydraSnake Tools to inspect water, waste water and other water pipelines. PICA, the operating arm of the group, has a seasoned team of engineers who manage our field services and a gifted data analysis team who report the results of the inspection work to our clients. Our clients are world-wide water and waste water pipeline owners and operators. Typically they are progressive companies who wish to pro-actively manage their buried assets and extend their pipelines' useful life past the original expected life of 50 to 100 years. They also enjoy the professional expert benefit of being able to place a value on their buried assets by quantitatively knowing their condition, and being able to make informed decisions on spot repairs, rehabilitation or replacement. PICA offers in-Line Inspection Services for pipelines in the following industries: Potable Water Waste Water Raw Water Fire Water (used in all industrial plants to fight fires) Slurry lines and "Slick Lines" used in mines to transport cement slurry underground Steel water well casings Salt water disposal lines Other water pipelines, such as cooling water for thermal and nuclear power stations
