Corrosion Under Pipe Supports (CUPS) is one of the most critical yet difficult-to-detect degradation mechanisms affecting pipelines in the oil & gas, petrochemical, and industrial sectors.

Developing at concealed contact points between pipelines and their supports, CUPS can result in:

• Hidden wall thickness loss
• Unexpected leaks and environmental incidents
• Unplanned shutdowns and production losses
• Increased maintenance and asset replacement costs

OCA Global, provides comprehensive Asset Integrity solutions that combine advanced inspection technologies with engineering expertise and digital asset management—helping operators identify hidden risks while minimizing operational disruption.

Their Three-Step Integrity Approach

- Detect

• Identify hidden corrosion using advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technologies.
• Assess the actual condition of pipelines and support interfaces with precision. 

- Protect

• Evaluate integrity risks and prioritize mitigation actions. 
• Reduce the likelihood of failures while improving operational safety and asset reliability. 

- Sustain

• Transform inspection findings into actionable insights through digital Pipeline Integrity Dashboards. 
• Enable data-driven maintenance decisions, continuous monitoring, and long-term asset performance optimization. 

\"At OCA Global, we don\'t just inspect pipelines—we help organizations protect critical assets, improve reliability, and optimize maintenance strategies. Contact our Asset Integrity team to learn how we can support your Pipeline Integrity Management program.\"
