Pipeline Profile Surveys
Through our Field Services team, Pipeline Engineering is able to carry out a range of pipeline profiling requirements.
This is done using a Calliper tool which locates pipeline anomalies such as
- Dents
- Ovalities
- Girth welds
- Valves
- Pipeline installations
Typically a calliper survey will be carried out
- After construction of a pipeline
- After modifications to a pipeline
- Prior to an Intelligent Pig Survey
Our Calliper Tool is capable of operating in pipelines transporting most liquids or gases ranging from 8” through 48” in size. It can travel distances up to 250km in temperatures from -20ºC to +50º.
All electronic components are housed inside a single pressure vessel and data collected by the tool is stored onto flash memory cards for retrieval and analysis.
The full service from Pipeline Engineering includes the initial build of the required Calliper Tool taking into account the individual parameters of the pipeline to be surveyed.
Once on site, our field services team will carry out all pre-launch equipment checks and then the tool is activated, loaded into a launcher and sent into the line. The Calliper Tool is then retrieved from the receiver and cleaned. The Field Technicians will be present at all times during the launch and receipt of the tool.
The stored data is then downloaded and analysed on-site by our field technicians enabling an initial field report to be prepared. The report will highlight in particular the geometric variations and heavy deformations.
The final phase is the detailed analysis of all data by our office based technical support team with a comprehensive report of findings prepared for the client.
