LPI's engineers recently completed a design modification for a carbon steel buried pipe line at a nuclear facility. The existing line had been found to have leaked trace amounts of tritium, a radioactive isotope. The LPI design replacement, utilized a "pipe within a pipe" concept, where the process line is encased within a guard pipe. The design of the replacement process line and guard pipe used materials selected for enhanced internal and external corrosion protection, ease of installation and weld-ability.
LPI has previously performed buried piping design replacements at nuclear facilities. Our experience encompasses development of risk ranking criteria, inspection assistance, fitness-for-service and assurance of integrity development methods.
LPI recently used a motion amplification camera (MAC) system on a custom platform to measure vibrations on the main steam lines at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station.

Come visit LPI at the CLM Midwest Conference in Chicago! LPI, Inc. will have a table top exhibit at the CLM Midwest Conference in Chicago, IL June 14th-15th 2018. We invite you to stop by our table top booth to talk with Dr. Zuhair Ibrahim to learn ab
Erosion–corrosion is a complex material degradation mechanism involving mechanical erosion and electrochemical corrosion.
LPI partners with Argonne to support nuclear power plant operations
At LPI, we use a variety of such programs to tackle a diverse group of client projects that may involve failure investigations, anomalous operational conditions, or new design.
LPI's reputation for providing reliable fitness-for-service skills to clients is well known. Perhaps less well known, however, but equally a core service it offers to clients, is LPI's ability to enter a product's design cycle early on and provide expert
