What does a pipeline inspector do?
Pipeline inspectors identify and report pipeline damage. This role includes conducting tests and checking pipes for metal fragments, chemical build-up, or other obstructions to good working order. Pipeline inspectors are trained to confirm and report on the condition of pipelines, so maintaining working knowledge of safety protocols and inspection codes is paramount to this role. Pipeline inspectors also advise on steps that building managers can take to repair the pipelines in accordance with specified codes to pass re-inspection.
