The January 2026 issue of World Pipelines explores how pipelines are adapting to a period of heightened delivery pressure, regulatory scrutiny, and shifting global energy dynamics. From crack detection and advanced inspection technologies to corrosion protection, valve innovation, and compliance-led operational efficiency, this issue highlights the tools and strategies helping operators maintain integrity without compromising performance. Features from RBAC, NDT Global, FORCE Technology, STATS Group, VIAVI, Emerson, ABB, and others examine how modelling, monitoring, and smarter system design are reshaping pipeline decision-making across inspection, repair, safety, and lifecycle management.
