About Us

Designed by pipeline engineers, for pipeline engineers

A centralised and scalable pipeline integrity digital twin platform built to help you access, manage and handover safety-critical data efficiently throughout the asset lifecycle.

Origin Story

Recognised early for practical pipeline integrity innovation

PipelineSentry was founded in 2020 by James Wardrop after years of seeing integrity teams lose time to disconnected records, manual handovers and difficult assurance reviews.

The platform was shaped around a practical need: keeping asset evidence connected from design and construction through to long-term operations.

Recognition

Our Approach

Define, prove, then scale

A conservative engagement model that keeps every step practical, evidence-led, and ready for review.

01

Define

Agree the decision, evidence requirements, and defensible outputs.

02

Map

Confirm the real inputs and how each source connects.

03

Pilot

Run one workflow cycle end-to-end with checks and assumptions.

04

Tighten

Reduce manual steps, close gaps, and make the runbook repeatable.

05

Handover

Deliver versioned outputs and guidance for sustainable use.

Why Choose Us

Work that survives handover

Because the work has to survive assurance, handover, and the next cycle.

Evidence over opinion

We prioritise traceability, completeness, and reviewable outputs over aesthetics.

Integration-minded

Outputs are built to fit your data platforms and digital twin landscape.

Minimal, testable starts

Start with one asset and a single decision cadence, then scale what works.

Practical standards

Define conventions once (IDs, units, thresholds), then reuse them across regions.
