Unpiggable pipelines

Make bends just work

Traditional ILI inspections can become unfeasible when run in situations involving low flows or pressures. The inspection challenge is often compounded when features such as back-to-back tight radius bends, unbarred tees or irregular valves are present. These more unique pipeline segments are deemed challenging to inspect and have historically been limited to integrity assessment methods such as direct assessment, hydrostatic testing, or costly modifications for more traditional free-swimming ILI inspections. 

Intero has focused many of its advanced inspection service offerings on these specific challenges, building years of experience proving out our inspection technologies in both controlled situations using modelling and customized test loops and, most crucially, onsite, operating in truly difficult-to-inspect pipelines successfully by helping our clients build certainty and peace of mind.
