Pipeline integrity engineering services.
Gray Jay provides pipeline risk management, engineering assessments, integrity documents and manuals, root cause analysis, pre-acquisition support and audit support. All work is aligned with CSA Z662 and regulatory requirements. We also offer PipeGuard, our own pipeline risk and data management software, for operators who want their integrity data and risk scores in one place.
What we do
Risk Management
We manage pipeline risk line by line in accordance with CSA Z662, identifying the threats and mitigation strategy to each pipeline, scoring likelihood and consequence, and ranking lines across each field using third-party risk software of your choice or using PipeGuard - our own risk software. Our risk management services include:
- Annual risk assessments
- ILI data analysis
- ILI assessments
- Compliance verification
Engineering Assessments
Engineering assessments fulfill the requirement for a number of regulatory bodies in Canada, in accordance with CSA Z662. Assessment types include:
- Resumption
- Flow reversal
- MOP increase
- Substance change
- Class location change
- Fitness for service
Pipeline Integrity Documents and Manuals
We create new manuals and update existing ones to current industry standards, keep them up to date as regulations change, and tailor every document to your operations, including:
- Pipeline integrity management program
- Safety and loss management system
- Leak detection program
- Bacteria management program
- Pipeline procedures and forms
Root Cause Analysis
We investigate leaks and ruptures through field evidence, corrosion mechanism analysis and metallurgical testing where needed, and recommend corrective actions that address the underlying cause.
Acquisition Support
We offer pre-acquisition services. We assess the pipeline assets involved, reviewing licence records, integrity, mitigation and failure history, and regulatory compliance to understand the condition of the assets and where the liabilities sit. Additionally, pipelines can be run through PipeGuard’s Risk Engine to model corrosion rates, assign each line a risk score against your own risk matrix, and estimate the remaining life of each pipeline.
Audit Support
We help you prepare for regulatory and third-party audits, from records review and gap closure to responding to information requests.
Integrity engineering backed by our own risk software
Gray Jay is the first company in Western Canada to pair pipeline integrity engineering with its own risk management software. Because our engineers complete the annual line-by-line risk assessments and also develop PipeGuard, the risk engine can be fine-tuned to each operator’s system based on what those assessments find in the field.
The result is a risk model that reflects your pipelines and is updated every year, rather than a generic model applied from the outside.
