It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Cornelis "Cees" Bal, former CEO of PIPECARE Group. A visionary leader and dedicated industry champion, his impact on our team and field was profound. His legacy will continue to inspire us. Our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. Rest in peace, Cees. You will be truly missed.
We offer our deepest condolences. He was the one who provided us with training and guidance on how to address the issue and find solutions during configurations, including gauge analysis, potential causes of failure runs, and the configuration of ILI in critical pipelines, particularly those with low pressure and low flow. We will always remember him, as he played a significant role in shaping our professional careers in ILI. He was truly a champion in the ILI industry.
Farewell Cees, you brought color to our industry.
That is truly sad news, RIP Cornelis.
One of my first mentors, I learned a lot from you Cees. And unforgettable time in Dubai which I will always remember. RIP Cees, my deepest sympathies to Susan and family
RIP Cees. Thanks for unforgetable times
I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Cees Ball, the former CEO and the very soul of PIPECARE. He was more than a leader; he was a mentor, a father figure, and the guiding spirit who taught us the true meaning of being CUSTODIANS of our work. His vision, integrity, and humanity shaped not only the company but also the lives of everyone who had the privilege to work with him. May his legacy continue to inspire us, and may his soul rest in eternal peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time 🙏
The most loveable Mentor/Boss & Friend I ever had and worked with. Can't express enough of my grave sadness on losing him. A beautiful soul that for sure engraved as beautiful memories for everybody, will rest in peace. My countless condolences to Susan and everyone else who had the opportunity and privilege of being with him.

2moI do not forget my first day in LiN SCAN, receiving his training and mentorship as a new comer. His neat attention to details of everything (even how to accurately write "LiN SCAN"!) taught me a valuable vision. We will not forget you. Rest in peace Mr. Bal.
