Execution

Often the skill set required to successfully complete smart tool internal inspection programs are not fully appreciated.  Unlike regular maintenance pigging programs, smart tool inspection programs require considerably more attention and care to ensure the smart tools perform effectively.  If the person in charge of the program is not experienced with smart tool inspections, the pipeline owners run the risk of not obtaining reliable information.  Not only can this lead to additional costs for reruns, but more importantly, incorrect information potentially being used to populate their integrity database and impact their integrity models.  At In-Line Pigging Solutions, our personnel bring years of pipeline operation and internal inspection experience to every project to ensure the field activities are completed safely and properly, so that the information gathered can be relied on.
