The appointment recognises Brannelly’s expertise in pipeline testing and inspection and reinforces the high standard of Pipe Tek’s technical systems

The appointment recognises Brannelly’s expertise in pipeline testing and inspection and reinforces the high standard of Pipe Tek’s technical systems. NATA is Australia’s national accreditation authority, responsible for assessing the technical competence of organisations performing testing, inspection and calibration services across industries, including pipelines, mining, energy, water and infrastructure

” As a Technical Assessor, Brannelly will play an important role in evaluating the competency of testing providers, including organisations that operate alongside Pipe Tek in the market, helping ensure consistency, integrity and confidence in accredited testing services across Australia

The lower weight also reduces freight costs, particularly on remote pipeline projects where transport logistics can place significant pressure on budgets. In some cases, Pollard’s can coordinate delivery of Pack Tuff bags alongside manufactured pipe, reducing additional freight requirements and simplifying site logistics

That flexibility is important on site, where changing ground conditions and heavy pipe loads can quickly create risks for both infrastructure and crews

That approach allows contractors to choose a bedding solution that supports both operational performance and environmental responsibility

The customer also needed to reduce a testing exclusion zone that extended to nearly a mile in circumference while improving testing efficiency and consistency

“That’s where we focus – bringing a construction-led perspective into concept development, pre-FEED, and FEED to strengthen definition, improve constructability, and ground cost and schedule in real execution conditions

Conventional Energy Resources is helping pipeline owners move into execution with greater certainty around cost, schedule, and constructability

” That shift is increasing demand for specialist construction insight during early-stage development
