Brandon comes to us from ExxonMobil, where he worked as a field engineer and HCA engineer after graduating Cum Laude with a bachelor’s of science degree in mechanical engineering from Oklahoma State University.
His can-do and here-to-serve attitude is as much of an asset as his technical expertise. Brandon supports and leads HT Engineering’s team in a variety of pipeline projects and programs. On the integrity side, he manages in-line inspections. From piggability verifications to tool run procedures to vendor management, he ensures we collect the information needed to understand and manage threats to our clients’ pipelines. His experience in hydraulic analysis helps our team identify and mitigate surge threats, design efficient pipeline systems, and plan safely for temporary operations like nitrogen purges and product displacements.
Five Key Ways to Protect Yourself from Pipeline Surge
Surge is a potential issue in liquid pipeline operation. It’s relatively rare in a line that’s operating normally, but as we’ll see, there can be serious consequences when it does happen. Fortunately, there are steps that pipeline operators can take to prevent surge from happening, to reduce the magnitude of the surges and to minimize risks and damage from surges.
Five steps to get ready for that upcoming in-line inspection tool run
ILI inspections are essential for meeting regulatory guidelines, and are also essential for an operator to be able to understand threats that may have been previously unknown.
