Service 01

Leak Surveys

Quality leak surveys are the foundation of a safe, compliant gas system.

PinPoint promptly identifies and classifies methane leaks in your natural gas system, keeping you compliant with government regulations while enhancing safety. Surveys use Heath DPIR and RMLD instruments and rely on traditional walking surveys in Class 3 and 4 locations for the most accurate sampling of mains, services and meters.

Pipe-to-Soil Potential Surveys

Verify the cathodic protection that keeps your steel pipelines from corroding.

Monitoring the electrochemical state of your pipeline system is integral to preventing corrosion and ensuring compliance. Pipe-to-soil potential surveys measure the electrical potential between your pipelines and the surrounding soil, so potential issues can be identified and mitigated, supporting the safety, longevity and compliance of your natural gas infrastructure.
