Non-Member Resources

PRCI works with a broad community of organizations and individuals to advance pipeline safety, reliability, and performance. While membership is one way to engage with PRCI, many non-members participate through research execution, knowledge sharing, training, events, and industry collaboration. 

Whether you are exploring opportunities to work with PRCI, contribute expertise, access research and training, purchase products, or support industry initiatives, there are multiple ways to get involved. 

Work With PRCI 

PRCI collaborates with a wide range of non-member organizations and individuals to support its research and knowledge-transfer mission. 

• Research Contractors and Service Providers: PRCI engages qualified research contractors, consultants, laboratories, and technical service providers to execute research projects and support specialized activities such as testing, modeling, data analysis, and technical support.

   

• Subject-Matter Experts and Contributors: Non-members may be invited to contribute technical expertise to PRCI research activities, workshops, webinars, or events, supporting industry knowledge exchange. 

Contact the PRCI Research Team to discuss opportunities.
