Trusted by Pipeline & Utility Professionals
See what pipeline operators and utility contractors are saying about FieldTap.
“FieldTap cut our post-inspection paperwork in half. The UP-series forms match our DOT compliance workflow exactly, and the offline mode is bulletproof on remote pipeline corridors.”
Mark D.
Pipeline Integrity Manager, Midstream Pipeline Services
“We switched from Cortex and saved over $15,000 per year. The AI photo analysis flags coating defects I might miss, and the GPS tagging makes locating revisits effortless.”
Angela T.
Utility Inspector, Metro Utility Solutions
“Managing 30 inspectors across three states used to be a logistical nightmare. Now I see every inspection in real-time, review records the same day, and our PHMSA audit prep takes hours instead of weeks.”
Carlos R.
Field Operations Supervisor, Continental Gas & Electric
Built for Critical Infrastructure Data Security
TSA pipeline security, critical infrastructure information protection, DOT/PHMSA audit trails, and 49 CFR compliance documentation are not add-ons -they are the architecture.
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Pipeline location data, facility maps, and inspection records are classified as critical infrastructure information (CII). Access is restricted by role and project with database-enforced controls.
Pipeline Data Confidentiality
GPS coordinates, alignment sheets, and facility details are access-restricted by default -never publicly accessible. Compliant with TSA Pipeline Security Guidelines and API 1164.
Immutable Audit Trail
Append-only audit logs that cannot be modified or deleted. Full chain-of-custody documentation for DOT/PHMSA compliance reviews and regulatory audits.
Encrypted & Hardened
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, signed URLs for photos, HSTS, and row-level security on every database table.
