HOUSTON - s4story -- Altamira, a leading environmental and engineering consulting firm specializing in pipeline integrity, corrosion management and regulatory compliance for the energy sector, will present two technical papers at the 2026 AMPP Annual Conference + Expo in Houston, Texas. The conference, hosted by the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), is the world's largest corrosion and materials protection event, bringing together industry experts, researchers and operators to share advances in corrosion science and infrastructure integrity.

Altamira's research presentations will address two critical challenges facing the energy industry today: corrosion under insulation (CUI) in process facilities and integrity management for pipelines converted to dense carbon dioxide (CO₂) service.
