Noticed more corrosion on pipelines we're inspecting this year. Standard procedure changing?

Remember a job where we found bad pitting under some insulation, way worse than the logs showed. Ryan_sanchez has a point about check ups, but sometimes the find makes you change the game plan on the spot. We ended up doing a full valve section swap right then, which definitely wasn't the original playbook. It's like the corrosion tells you what to do next, not the other way around. More finds probably means more of those surprise calls in the field.

Actually, corrosion wouldn't change the procedure itself. Might mean they need to check more often though.
