Empowering Industries
Through Collaboration

PIP began more than 30 years ago as a self-funded consortium of owners and contractors primarily in the Oil & Gas sector. Today, we are dedicated to translating applied research into best practices for dozens of industries. Because global engineering excellence surpasses industry boundaries, so do we. To get started, search by industry category below.
