The replacement value of the U.S. transmission pipeline infrastructure is over $540 billion. As a result, a significant investment is at risk, and the overall goal of the pipeline industry must be to preserve these critical assets.
NACE offers a variety of decision support tools for the pipeline professional to aid in the development or refinement of their integrity management plan including technical training and certification programs, topical conferences, industry standards and reports, and publications. These resources emphasize practical, ready-to-apply techniques that yield immediate and cost-effective benefits.
