As part of Acuren’s material verification solutions geared towards PHMSA Mega Rule compliance, Acuren purchased four HSD 8000 Tester units from MMT to support the operational safety and Mega Rule compliance needs of Local Distribution Company (LDC) customers. Along with the purchase, MMT trained and certified Acuren field technicians to independently perform in situ pipeline testing.
“The HSD tester provides the most accurate and reliable non-destructive pipeline material verification process available today—it is key to our commitment to provide best-in-class pipeline integrity management practices for safe energy transmission and Mega Rule compliance,” said Frank Noble, General Manager, Acuren US East.
“Acuren is widely recognized among gas pipeline owners/operators for their inspection service quality and reliability. Acuren’s purchase of 4 HSD units represents a significant endorsement of our process, and we look forward to servicing their TVC record reporting and HSD process training needs,” said Buddy Powers, MMT Director of Business Development.
