We can carry out inspection anywhere
Comparison Inspex vs Conventional
Inspex• Low cost
• High speed of work
• Inspection of non-piggable pipeline sections
• Inspection without stopping the pipeline flow
Conventional• High cost of work
• Need for preparatory work
• Stopping product transportation for the duration of inspection
• Significant limitations on applicability
•Risk of smart pig stacking
Case study and Client feedback
Report example of 48" gas pipeline
19 - points of inspection
12 points - critical
2 points - supercritical

Detectable anomalies
1.Stress-deformed states
2.Corrosion and fatigue stresses
3.Defects related to metal loss and metal strength violations
4.Changing the pipeline geometry
5.Unauthorized tie-ins and repair sites
