Pipe Inspection Companies

Every joint inspected. Every defect documented.

Pipe inspection companies deliver one thing to operators: confidence that the pipe going in the ground meets spec. TMI builds the operating system that gets field data into the client's hands faster, with inspector credentials current and defect records complete.

The Problem

Pipe inspection data is only valuable when it reaches the operator on time.

Tally sheets filled in the field, defect photos taken on personal phones, and final reports assembled in an office days later create a documentation chain where errors and delays are built in from the start.

01

Field tally sheets lost or illegible

Wall thickness readings, drift results, and visual inspection findings recorded by hand on tally sheets that get wet, torn, or misread. Transcription errors turn accurate field measurements into incorrect client reports.

02

Reject tracking creates disputes

When an inspector rejects a joint for defects and the operator's crew disputes the call, the inspector needs a complete documentation trail - photo, measurement, and reference standard - to defend the rejection. Paper records rarely hold up.

03

Inspector API credentials lapse unnoticed

API 5L and related inspector qualifications have renewal cycles that get missed when they're tracked on a spreadsheet that nobody updates between audits. An expired credential on a critical project stops the job and starts a different conversation with the client.

What TMI Builds

Six systems. One operating layer.

Built for pipe inspection companies where tally accuracy, defect documentation, and inspector certification currency are the foundation of every client relationship.

01

Digital Tally System

Wall thickness, drift, and visual inspection results entered in structured digital format in the field. No transcription step, no illegible handwriting, no lost paper. Data is in the system before the inspector moves to the next joint.

02

Defect Documentation with Photo Capture

Rejected joints documented with photo, measurement, reference standard citation, and disposition all attached to the joint record. Client disputes resolved with a complete, timestamped record - not a verbal description.

03

Inspector Certification Tracker

API, ASNT, and client-specific credentials tracked per inspector with automated expiration alerts. No inspector gets deployed with lapsed credentials - the system verifies qualifications before assignment.

04

Real-Time Client Reporting

Tally data compiled into formatted client reports automatically as inspection progresses. Operators see daily joint counts, reject rates, and defect summaries without waiting for an end-of-day report assembly.

05

Project Progress Dashboard

Joints inspected, joints accepted, joints rejected, and project completion percentage visible in real time. Project managers see progress without calling the site - and clients can see it too if you choose to share it.

06

Billing by Project and Joint Type

Inspection hours and joint counts tracked per project per inspector. Invoices built from verified field records - not from a coordinator's daily note compilation.
