Target

Onstream Pipeline Inspection Services Inc. is a leading North American provider of proprietary, technology-enabled inline inspection (ILI) and data analytics services. Founded in 2005, the company specializes in the "unpiggable" segment of the small to mid-bore gathering and midstream pipeline market. Onstream utilizes combination inspection tools equipped with high-resolution sensors in both free-swimming and tethered configurations to identify pipeline hardware, welds, bends, and metal loss defects. A key competitive advantage is its proprietary "Streamview" software, which allows a dedicated team of expert analysts to produce actionable reports in approximately 20 days, significantly faster than the 60-to-90-day industry norm. With operations in Alberta and Houston, Texas, the company serves critical energy infrastructure by ensuring the safety and integrity of pipeline assets.
