In-line inspection and integrity services
The safety, integrity, and operating efficiency of your assets are at the core of what we do. Baker Hughes Process & Pipeline Services (PPS) unique portfolio of services helps you confidently manage the lifecycle of your pipeline—delivering timely and stress-free startup, supporting day-to-day reliability, and enabling controlled decommissioning.
The right technology for every technology challenge
We provide a variety of inspection services to meet your requirements. We offer pipeline inspection services for examining emerging issues such as corrosion, cracks, pipeline movement, and mechanical damage.
Pipeline debris can reduce throughput, cause corrosion, raise running costs, and prevent proper inspection. Our technologies remove various deposits, including wax, liquids, black powder, rust, and millscale. We'll get your pipeline back on track and enhance your system's efficiency without taking it offline.
Pipeline safety and asset integrity, along with continued throughput, main the greatest priorities for operators. And, while pipeline operation and management are highly complex with many processes and activities which are essential to ensure safe pipeline operations, there can be no doubt that dependable pipeline inspection data makes things easier.
At Baker Hughes, we have spent over 50 years inspecting more than 2 million kilometres of pipeline doing exactly that, making things easier. How? Through the introduction of the most advanced technologies, by employing world-class talent and expertise and by providing some of the most accurate data in the industry you can be confident that the decisions you make will be efficient and effective, first time, every time.
At the heart of our mission is a steadfast commitment to ensuring the safety, integrity, and optimal performance of your valuable pipeline assets. Your success is our success, and we leave no stone unturned in achieving it. From meticulous planning and comprehensive inspection procedures to detailed reporting, and, most importantly, the efficiency of your dig and maintenance program, we stand by your side every step of the way.
Our advanced assessment techniques deliver customer-focused pipeline integrity tools for pipeline inspection and detection. Our technological expertise, extensive field experience, and sophisticated data management capabilities not only meet stringent regulatory requirements but also enhance the safety, productivity, and longevity of your assets.
Safety isn't just a priority; it's our way of life at Baker Hughes. Our Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) culture safeguards our team, customers, the communities we serve, and the environment.
Our dedicated project managers, combined with extensive inspection tool fleets and integrated planning solutions, assure you that we are there when you need us in the field, delivering your reports on time.
Our team of highly specialized engineers and data scientists is on a constant mission to research and introduce new, and advanced existing technologies. When you choose Baker Hughes, you choose peace of mind.
Pipeline repairs and mitigation measures can be costly and time-critical. With structured personnel competency training, certification programs, rigorous technology validation, and robust operational processes, we excel in delivering operational excellence.
Each of our inspection technologies has been developed to reliably detect, classify, and size potential pipeline threats before they become critical issues. Advanced data analytic techniques empower our customers to make informed decisions, reducing unnecessary downtime and realizing substantial cost savings by only repairing what is necessary.
Our team of integrity specialists brings years of experience through technology development and integrity management. We've encountered and successfully addressed countless challenges in supporting and advising operators on their pipeline integrity management programs. Whatever the issue, we’ve seen it before, and we are here to help.

Pipeline crack management
Reliable detection, location, and sizing of crack-like features
Our technology enables us to detect over 20 different types of cracks. We’ve focused on finding solutions to your challenges to locate, identify, characterize, and monitor the many types of cracks that may compromise pipeline integrity.
Pipeline geometry: deformation, strain, and mapping
Mapping and inspecting your pipeline at the same time supports with gathering and understanding critical information on specific challenges to pipeline integrity. Our mapping tools can run through remote, inaccessible areas where conventional above-ground mapping surveys are impractical.
Integrity engineering
Maximizing the efficiency of your ILI program
We offer proven, industry-accepted pipeline integrity engineering practices that support a pragmatic approach without jeopardizing pipeline safety. Our comprehensive range of assessment techniques evaluates anomaly criticality and enables us to recommend control measures, repair processes or changes to the system process to promote long-term pipeline integrity.
Energy Transition
Baker Hughes is committed to assisting operators through the ongoing period of energy transition. Through the provision of accurate and reliable in-line inspection (ILI) data, as well as associated engineering services, PPS can help operators make informed decisions about introducing different products into their pipelines.
