Diakont announced this month that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed with Structural Integrity Associates, Inc.

The MoU leverages Structural Integrity’s engineering experience in buried piping and flaw assessment with Diakont’s robotic inline inspection equipment to offer a comprehensive in-field inspection of buried and underground piping to help nuclear power plants meet the inspection requirements of NEI 09-14. Through the relationship, nuclear power plants will benefit from a turnkey solution that includes field inspection, data interpretation, flaw criteria and disposition support, and complete data management support back into the site’s BPWORKS™ 2.0 and MapProView software for later use in trending and risk analysis.

Edward Petit de Mange, Managing Director of Diakont added, “The team of Diakont and Structural Integrity works with each client to develop an integrated solution for buried piping at Nuclear Power plants.  This alliance allows Structural Integrity and Diakont to deliver a much needed buried piping inspection and management solution for nuclear power plants and pipelines.”

“Structural Integrity prides itself on our engineering expertise and bringing quality, innovative solutions to our clients,” said Laney Bisbee, CEO of Structural Integrity Associates, Inc. “And Diakont is a great complement to our services and to Nuclear Power plants.  We’re confident this relationship will make buried pipe inspection and programs easier for Nuclear power plants.”
