As first step, a ROSEN cleaning pig is send through the pipeline, removing dirt from the inside of the pipe wall as well as collecting excess particles and debris. Once the lines are clean, a specialized inspection tool is inserted to the transmission network. The ROSEN tool carries multiple technologies i. e. it is equipped with Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) technology and can identify the smallest defects or deviations of the pipe wall. After the inspection, all collected data is downloaded from the inspection tool and sent to the operating units of the ROSEN Group. Within our expert teams, the data is analyzed and a reliable report is produced, to inform our customers about the integrity of their industrial assets.
