Pipeline Inspections

Our country is located between Europe, which has the largest oil and gas reserves, and the second-highest energy demand. Consequently, it serves as a transit route for oil and natural gas pipelines, functioning as a bridge for international pipelines. Turkey is intricately woven with pipelines and continues to be expanded. On one side, it is surrounded by the world’s largest gas and oil reserves, and on the other, it acts as a complete energy bridge with the world’s second-largest energy market. The security of pipelines not only influences the world’s energy policy but also concerns the environment, nature, and public health in our beautiful country. Therefore, high-quality non-destructive inspections of pipelines are extremely crucial.
