Your Trusted Provider of Pipeline Inspection Services

Cypress In-Line Inspection, LLC (“Cypress”) offers proprietary pipeline inspection technology to assist the owners of both energy and municipal water pipelines with their pipeline integrity management programs to protect people, property, and the environment. Cypress offers best in class ultra high resolution (“UHR”) magnetic flux leakage (“MFL”) in-line inspection (“ILI”) tools. Our EcoVision Tools are available in many sizes, and our energy pipeline tools feature ILI MFL-A UHR, GEO, IMU technologies.

Our technology has been developed over the last forty years with our UHR energy tools coming to market over the last five years in sizes ranging from 4” – 24”. Our tools capture more information than most competitors as the result of our proprietary engineering and design. We performed our first municipal water line inspection for the City of San Francisco Public Utility Authority in 2008. We can inspect municipal water lines from 42” to over 120” in diameter.

Since releasing our first UHR tool, we have successfully inspected over 850 miles of energy pipelines and over 135 miles of municipal water pipelines. We are proud of our data quality, first run success, safety track record, and that our ruggedized tools have never been stuck in a pipeline. Our EcoView data analysis software and reporting capabilities have also been developed over the last two decades. Our tool performance and accuracy has been confirmed by numerous customers with third-party nondestructive examination (“NDE”) data that demonstrates a 94% confidence level regarding probability of detection and sizing.

Energy pipeline customers include Colt Midstream, Crescent Midstream, Enbridge/Dominion, Lower Valley Energy, Phillips 66, DCP, Targa, Marathon, Plains, Energy Transfer, Chevron, United States Air Force, Northstar, TrueCo/Bridger, Taproot, Mission Creek, City of Redding, Suncor, Williams, and others.

Municipal water industry customers include City of San Francisco Public Utility Authority, City of Denver, North Jersey District Water Supply Commission, Washington County Water Conservancy District, and others.

Our team has decades of experience in the ILI industry and includes PhD’s, mechanical, electrical, software, and signal processing engineers, Level II & III data analyst’s and tool operators. Cypress is family-owned business.

Leaders in the Industry

Cypress In-Line Inspection has assembled a world-class team of experts with decades of experience working in the industry. They have worked with most of the leading companies and continue to be subject matter experts in their fields. Our team has continued to build upon the technology of our Company’s founder and in-line inspection pioneer, Dr. Phil Hoyt PhD, who obtained his doctorate at Stanford University and served as a professor there and University of Wyoming.

Best in Class Ultra-High Resolution Inspection Tools that Allow Owners to Better Assess the Integrity of their Pipelines.

Cypress In-Line Inspection, LLC (“Cypress”) and its predecessors have been working for over thirty years developing its proprietary pipeline condition assessment magnetic flux leakage detection (“MFL”) tools and software to inspect pipelines. MFL is a method of nondestructive evaluation (“NDE”) to inspect pipelines. Cypress offers best in class ultra-high resolution MFL tools for traditional energy pipelines, and we offer the unique capability to inspect large diameter (48” and greater) mortar-lined water pipelines. Some refer to this as “Smart Pigging” which has been widely used in unlined steel pipelines in the petroleum, petroleum products, natural gas and liquefied gas transportation industry since the mid 1960's. MFL inspection is the correlation of changes in a magnetic field caused by pipeline defects to the dimensions of the defect.

Learn About

The EcoVision in-line inspection tools represent the latest advances in MFL technology. The industry has just moved into 5G, much like how we have seen televisions and mobile phones benefit from these technologies.

MFL technologies provide the owner of energy or municipal water pipelines with critical information about their condition. This technology functions much like how MRI machines provide a doctor with a view of the human body.

Data Analysis

Our state-of-the-art data analysis software has been developed over three decades. This technology allows our customers and data analysts to determine metal loss, corrosion, dents, and their precise location on the pipe wall and its GPS location.

Our Valued Customers

We are extremely proud of our impressive track record of first-run success with excellent data across all types of energy and municipal water pipelines. Our highly respected customers include:

Customer Testimonials

“His team were well prepared prior to and during the pig run. The communication was effective with all stakeholders throughout the process. When the weather in North Dakota caused us to alter the timing of the run on short notice, they were able to quickly adjust the plan and safely complete the run.”

Northstar Midstream

“Would like to recommend Cypress for executing a flawless and professional pipeline telemetry project”

United States Army Corp of Engineers
