Metallographic study and soil analysis

Precise solutions for assessing the condition of your networks and infrastructure

Extend infrastructure life

By anticipating fatigue and wear problems, we help you extend their life

Prevent corrosion

This analysis lets us identify high-risk areas before corrosion compromises pipeline integrity

Optimise rehabilitation work

The metallographic study pinpoints the areas to rehabilitate first

Understanding material condition to prevent deterioration

Corrosion prevention

through a better understanding of the soil’s chemical properties

Adapting materials and laying

techniques to avoid future damage

Optimised infrastructure management

based on environmental conditions

A metallographic study is recommended when signs of corrosion, deformation or leaks appear, or as a preventive measure to assess the condition of your metal infrastructure, particularly for older or sensitive networks.
Samples are usually taken at the depth where the pipelines are laid.
Depending on the complexity of the study, a metallographic or soil analysis can take from a few days to a week. You then receive a detailed report with tailored recommendations.
