Touchpoint Corrosion

Touchpoint Corrosion Program

Touch Point Corrosion (TPC) is a severe localized damage mechanism that occurs at the contact interface between process piping and its resting supports (such as structural beams, pipe shoes, clamps, or saddles). Trapped moisture, atmospheric contaminants, and debris accumulate in the crevice, accelerating external wall loss through concentrated crevice and galvanic corrosion. Left unchecked, TPC leads to pinhole leaks, structural thinning, and catastrophic loss of primary containment without showing visible external symptoms on the top of the pipe.

Touch Point Corrosion Line Lifting is a specialized solution designed to address corrosion issues in pipelines resting on supports. By carefully lifting the line, our method allows for thorough inspection, cleaning, and application of advanced corrosion protection systems without disrupting operations. This proactive approach helps extend asset life, prevent costly failures, and ensure compliance with industry standards. With minimal downtime and maximum efficiency, our Line Lifting service is a game-changer for maintaining pipeline integrity.
