PHMSA Compliant '21 Trial Audit
3rd-party validation, data-backed tool tolerance, and rigorous field process including calibration procedures
The HSD Procedure provides Traceable, Verifiable, and Complete (TVC) records to confirm pipeline physical and operational characteristics. HSD provides owner/operators the highest level of confidence available to meet Mega Rule requirements.
Avoid Cutouts and Hydrotests
Use of accurate in-situ materials data for grade confirmation
Limit Excavations
Higher data accuracy enables TVC record compliance with significantly fewer digs
Instant Material Verification Report
Final Material Verification Report
Data Completeness verified with MMTConnect data collection software
Data Validation sample consistency
verified with HSD Firmware
HSD Calibration verification
