Services for buried networks
We help network operators with tracing, marking, and assist them on instrumented pig inspection services.
Our services
Continuous monitoring of your networks
IPSI Solutions covers the entire lifecycle of your anti-corrosion protection systems, from design to operational monitoring.
Surveying and marking
Precise location of your buried networks using electromagnetic detection and field marking compliant with NF S70-003.
Corrosion diagnostics
Potential measurements (CIPS, DCVG, ACVG), protection status assessment and identification of at-risk zones.
Preventive maintenance
Periodic visits, potential checks and adjustments to maintain the effectiveness of your systems.
Site surveillance
Implementation of permanent surveillance for high-risk sites, ensuring compliance with safety instructions established during risk analysis.
Monitoring and reporting
Works surveillance and pig tracking
Our technicians monitor your worksites and track intelligent pig inspection operations.
Third-party works surveillance
On-site presence and monitoring during works near your networks to prevent damage.
Acceptance measurements
Quality control of coatings and cathodic protection effectiveness after works.
Intervention reports
Complete documentation of every intervention, historical tracking and improvement recommendations.
Continuous monitoring
Installation of permanent measurement systems with remote data transmission to your control centre.
Field surveying and marking
Third-party site surveillance
Intelligent pig tracking
Intelligent pig tracking (ILI — In-Line Inspection) detects internal and external defects in your pipelines without service interruption. Our teams handle field marking, passage tracking and data analysis.

What to expect from a buried network protection contractor
Buried network protection is a field where the quality of a service provider is hard to judge from a quotation. Here is what actually separates one from another.
Certified personnel, not just certified equipment
Cathodic protection competence is certified for individuals under EN 15257, by level and by application sector. Asking which level operates on your network, and in which sector, is a more useful question than asking about the brand of the rectifier.
Measurement method, not just measurement values
A potential reading means nothing without its method. Was the current interrupted? Were all sources synchronised? Where was the reference electrode placed? A report that does not state these things cannot be used to demonstrate compliance.
Coverage of the whole route
Protection is not demonstrated at the rectifier station. Current attenuates along the line, faster where the coating has degraded. A serious campaign covers the extremities and the singular points — crossings, casings, connections to third-party networks.
Ability to act on what is found
A diagnosis that ends in a report has limited value. Locating a coating defect is useful only if someone can excavate, repair the coating, adjust the protection and verify the result — ideally the same organisation, so that nothing is lost between the finding and the fix.
Equipment used on these operations
