Following an acquisition from ProFlex Technologies, PipeSense emerges as a powerhouse amalgamating over a century of combined expertise in pipeline integrity management. Employing cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, PipeSense offers tailored solutions to tackle diverse operational challenges faced by onshore and offshore pipelines.
Charps, renowned for its prowess in pipeline construction and maintenance, has strategically invested in PipeSense's management, deployment, and research and development endeavors.

Under the leadership of Stuart Mitchell, transitioning from his role as president of ProFlex to president and CTO of PipeSense, alongside Charps CEO Joe Van Vynckt, who assumes the additional role of PipeSense CEO, the company has finalized its senior leadership team with the appointments of Josh Holmes as vice president of sales and Scott Bauer as vice president of operations.
Reflecting on his dual roles within Charps and PipeSense, CEO Joe Van Vynckt highlighted the synergies between the two entities, emphasizing their shared dedication to advancing pipeline performance and monitoring. "As we move forward, Charps will leverage PipeSense's technology across various projects, underscoring our commitment to driving operational excellence in pipeline management," Van Vynckt stated.
