“TCR has been approved by IOCL to work in multiple spreads of the prestigious Kandla-Gorakhpur LPG pipeline, which is expected to be world’s longest LPG pipeline,” Bafna said, sharing details of few projects his company is executing.
Qualified radiography and other NDT services are also provided on the four spreads of the 690 kilometres long Srikakulam–Angul project which is an onshore gas pipeline from Andhra Pradesh to Orissa.
“TCR’s laboratory and its NDT services are approved by National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) as per the guidelines of ISO 17025,” Bafna said.
When asked about the cost involved, he replied, one per cent of the total cost of any infrastructure project is slated towards quality assurance, inspection and testing. (PTI)
