High Resolution Data Collection in Unpiggable Pipelines

An exploration of tethered technology

Some pipelines cannot be inspected with standard in-line inspection (ILI) solutions and are therefore termed "unpiggable". A combination of various circumstances relating to pipeline design, operating conditions and/or characteristics of the medium can prevent successful data collection through traditional methods. Modification of these pipelines to enable standard in-line inspection procedures may be considered, but this option can be expensive and technically complicated. To confirm the integrity of these lines, a specialized solution is often necessary.

This webinar explores two different in-line inspection case studies, the challenges that arose, the reasoning behind the selected tethered solutions and, ultimately, the quality of the data collected.
