June 8, 2009 (SEATTLE, WA)--Quest Integrity Group (www.questintegrity.com), a global provider of inspection and assessment services for the process, pipeline and power industries, today announced a new North American seminar series that will introduce the downstream energy industry to new advancements in inspection and assessment technology for pipelines and serpentine coils within fired heaters.

The Quest inspection seminar series, which is being offered for free to industry professionals, will be held in eight locations across the United States and Canada, from June through August 2009. It will discuss unique challenges faced in assessing the mechanical integrity of unpiggable pipelines and refinery fired heater coils, as well as new inspection technologies, Fitness-for-Service and Remaining Life Assessment approaches that have been generating success for both major and independent energy companies.

“So many of our customers worldwide are experiencing success with Quest’s new inspection technology and engineering assessment capabilities, that we wanted to share these solutions with the industry,” said Quest Vice President and General Manager Rich Roberts. “Rather than waiting for companies to come to us, this seminar series allows us to take the answers to them.”

Attendees may choose to attend seminars on either unpiggable pipelines, fired heater coils, or both. The back-to-back seminars, which include breakfast and lunch offerings, will be held June 23 in Calgary, AB; June 30 in Houston, TX; July 7 in Kenner, LA; July 9 in Mt. Vernon, WA; July 14 in Long Beach, CA; July 21 in Philadelphia, PA; July 23 in Detroit, MI; and August 4 in Concord, CA.
