Pipeline integrity is fundamentally dictated by how slurry interacts with materials over time. Fortin Lab Services provides advanced predictive wear and corrosion modelling to help operators understand, quantify, and extend the life of their critical pipeline assets.

Using controlled laboratory test loops, rheology data, material characterisation, and real-world operating inputs, we simulate erosion and corrosion mechanisms across a range of flow regimes, materials, and slurry characteristics. Our work goes beyond traditional rule-of-thumb estimates—delivering data-driven insight into wear rates, risk zones, and remaining useful life.

By integrating operational history with high-fidelity modelling, we provide operators with:

• Pipeline wear rate predictions under multiple flow and operating scenarios

• Assessment of erosion-corrosion interactions for both lined and unlined steel systems

• Optimised material selection for new pipelines and replacement sections

• Life-cycle cost forecasting and inspection/maintenance planning

• Input to IOWs and safe operating envelopes

With our partnership with Cosasco for corrosion monitoring technology, we combine laboratory precision with field validation—giving you confidence that your modelling reflects real operating conditions, not assumptions.
