Together, they reflect an industry that is both evolving and protecting what already works.   Mehdi Laichoubi, Skipper NDT, and Ian Kornfeld, National Grid, chat to Elizabeth Corner about advancing inspection technology, delivering major infrastructure, and what the next generation of pipeline professionals is focused on.
