TEAM presents its vision for the evolution of asset integrity at API Summit 2026
Asset integrity continues to gain prominence as process industries seek to maximize facility availability, strengthen operational safety, and optimize the return on their investments. During the API Summit 2026 event, Tim Pearson, Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at TEAM, Inc., shared the company’s vision for the sector’s evolution and explained how a strategy built on end-to-end solutions is addressing operators’ emerging needs.
The interview highlighted that today’s requirements go far beyond carrying out periodic inspections; companies need partners capable of supporting them throughout the entire asset life cycle, combining technical expertise, advanced technologies, and a broad service offering under one organization. In this context, TEAM proposes a model designed to simplify project management and facilitate customer decision-making.
A comprehensive approach to strengthening asset integrity
During the conversation, Pearson explained that TEAM has evolved into a global solutions provider for asset integrity, moving beyond the traditional concept of a company dedicated exclusively to industrial inspection.
The company offers a broad set of capabilities that enable it to intervene at virtually every stage related to industrial infrastructure management.
As the executive explained, the organization has more than twenty-five business lines spanning non-destructive testing and advanced inspection through to in-service repair, heat treatment, engineering, and digital solutions for asset management. This breadth makes it possible to tailor each project to the specific needs of facilities in sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, refining, power generation, mining, manufacturing, and nuclear energy.
Pearson noted that this model aims to provide a more efficient response to today’s industry challenges, where downtime, the availability of specialized personnel, and the need to optimize resources increasingly shape maintenance planning.
A value proposition based on integrated capabilities
One of the interview’s most relevant messages was the importance of delivering a unified customer experience; instead of managing multiple contracts with specialized suppliers across different disciplines, TEAM is committed to bringing a wide range of services together under a single organizational structure.
TEAM’s international presence is another element supporting this proposition. The company has approximately 220 locations, more than 5,400 professionals, and operations in nearly twenty geographic regions, enabling it to support customers with facilities across different markets.
Technology to meet new industrial challenges
Among the technologies in TEAM’s offering are advanced inspection through non-destructive testing, the use of drones to access complex areas, robotic systems for certain industrial applications, and digital solutions focused on managing asset information.
These capabilities reduce workers’ exposure to higher-risk environments and provide data that helps plan maintenance interventions more accurately. At the same time, they promote more efficient use of available resources and help minimize unplanned operational disruptions.
Training as a response to the talent challenge
To that end, TEAM, Inc. maintains an ongoing commitment to training its teams. Likewise, the company has a technical and training center in Alvin, Texas, where it develops programs for both employees and customers.
For Pearson, investing in talent development is an essential element to ensure service quality and maintain the ability to adapt to new market demands.
