We deliver certification, verification and technical advisory services related to pipelines covering design verification, technology qualification, integrity management including condition assessments and risk-based inspection planning, life extension studies, and repair systems. Our main market is the Northern Europe with a strong presence in the North Sea, but we get involved in projects all over the world, supporting our local offices and global clients.

We also invest heavily in research and development (R&D) in close co-operation with the industry, using our accumulated knowledge to develop tomorrow's standards and software products. As an example, we currently run two large Joint Industry Projects with over 20 and 30 participants from the industry solving the challenges of safely transporting CO2 and hydrogen.
