Once complete, the world-class showcase facility will combine the T.D. Williamson (TDW) in-line inspection engineering, manufacturing, operations, service center, and data analysis functions in one location.
Situated close to the airport in the Salt Lake International Center, the new site will double the current TDW footprint in Salt Lake City and is indicative of the ongoing TDW investment in in-line inspection.
“Our goal is to create a global pipeline integrity center that not only houses our in-line inspection capabilities but that also leverages the total breadth of TDW technologies,” said TDW Director of Pipeline Integrity Solutions Eric Rogers.
In addition to serving as a global hub for in-line inspection, the center will showcase TDW pigging products, including launchers and receivers, and pipeline services, such as cleaning and non-destructive testing.
“This new facility will also enable future growth, including the addition of a data center, customer and employee training facility, and pipeline test equipment for in-line inspection tools,” said Mr Rogers.
The new TDW Global Pipeline Integrity Center is scheduled to open its doors during the first half of 2012.
