Technical K9 Leak Detection offers a range of services related to pipeline leak detection. These services include:
Integrating K9 teams with other technologies and specialized equipment, such as GPS Survey and mapping software, areal photographic drones and odorant injection equipment, to support K9 leak detection operations and enhance our capabilities. These services aim to ensure the integrity of pipelines, prevent environmental hazards, and maintain the safety and reliability of pipeline infrastructure.
We proudly provide K9 leak detection services for the following industries:
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is the U.S. federal agency responsible for regulating the safety and security of pipelines. While PHMSA regulations primarily focus on the use of technology-based leak detection systems, they also acknowledge the potential effectiveness of alternative methods, including K9 pipeline leak detection, as part of an operator’s overall leak detection program.
K9 pipeline leak detection can comply with PHMSA regulations Performance- Based Approach. PHMSA regulations adopt a performance-based approach, which means that pipeline operators have flexibility in selecting leak detection methods as long as they meet the required performance criteria. K9 pipeline leak detection can be considered as an alternative method that demonstrates an equivalent level of performance in leak detection when compared to the requirements set by PHMSA.
TeamTK9 leak detection services can assist with compliance of the following PHMSA regulations:
