Mustang has developed numerous plans and strategies for transmission clients under CFR 49 Parts 192 and 195. We have the experience to assist in developing a Distribution Integrity Management Plan (DIMP) and can provide a multi-faceted and comprehensive Pipeline Integrity Management Program (IMP) through the use of inspection, assessment, mitigation and communication. It places a special emphasis on identifying and remediating internal and external corrosion anomalies, perhaps the most prevalent threats to the pipeline system. Once developed, Mustang has the expertise and support systems to provide Pipeline Integrity and Corrosion Management services for complete implementation and continued support of the plans. Mustang’s IMP team provides a variety of services including:
