Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Operators are required to have a means of detecting leakage on their pipelines and perform periodic review of their leak detection capabilities. The methodologies used for leak detection cover a wide spectrum of technologies and processes and are based on a number of different detection principles.

RCP engineers have an in-depth understanding of all applicable state and federal leak detection requirements, advisory bulletins, inspection protocols and referenced standards, as well as how they apply to pipeline design, operational procedures, leak detection methods, risk analysis and mitigation strategies.

RCP Leak Detection Capabilities Evaluations (LDCE) provide a comprehensive gap analysis and assessment of an operator’s Leak Detection Program (LDP) and Leak Detection Systems (LDS) that includes LDS selection methodology, performance targets, metrics, KPIs, testing, control center procedures, alarm management, training, and leak detection equipment maintenance reliability.
