SERVICES

In-line inspection smart pigging services focusing on the challenging and unpiggable pipelines, process piping and furnace applications.

Pipeline Inspection

Unpiggable pipeline inspection services focusing on challenging pipelines with small diameters
(3" - 12") with tight back to back 1D bends and tubes.

Process Piping Inspection

Smart pigging inspection services for plant and process piping inspections focusing on small and difficult tubing and pipes.

Furnace Inspection

Furnace, fired heater and steam generator inspection services proving wall loss, crack detection and decoking verification services.

Well and Downhole Inspection

Tethered smart pigging inspection services to scan for wall loss, crack detection and weld inspection on wells and downhole applications.

Fuel Loading Line Inspection

Intelligent pigging inspection services for fuel and marine loading lines using combined wall loss and crack detection smart pigging tools.

Offshore Inspection

We provide offshore wall loss and crack detection pigging services on hard to reach assets such as subsea pipelines, risers, caissons and J-tubes.

PHASED ARRAY SMART PIG

Vector Phased Array Smart Pig is a highly configurable free swimming smart pigging inspection tool with a circular Phased Array ultrasonic sensor. The unique sensor provides 100% coverage and fires a combination of multiple angles and techniques into the pipe wall at the same time in one run improving the probability of detection cracks and defects and less downtime for operators.


The modular tool is capable of adding additional battery and storage pods when needed for the those challenging long run inspections. The tool can be configured in a way to be bi-directional and pass through 1D bends for the tight space small run inspections.

PHASED ARRAY TETHERED PIG

Vector Phased Array Tethered Pig is a tethered inspection tool with a 360 degree Circular Phased Array ultrasonic sensor designed for well integrity and downhole inspections of diameters ranging from 2inch to 12inch. The tool is designed to perform simultaneous crack detection and high resolution wall loss on these hard to reach filled pipes and tubes.


The tool is capable of being pushed into the pipe with a push rod or lowered in via a winch with a maximum 500m cable length. The circular Phased Array ultrasound sensor can send straight or angled beams into the material to scan for wall thickness, cracks and weld defects. 100% inspection coverage of wells, risers, casings, caverns, hydrants and fingers can now be performed with this tool.

The tool is capable of being pushed into the pipe with a push rod or lowered in via a winch with a maximum 500m cable length. The Circular Phased Array sensors provide direct pipe thickness data for precision measurement of corrosion and anomalies. The Phased Array ultrasound sensor can send straight or angled beams into the material to scan for wall thickness, cracks and weld defects.

The onboard encoder ensures millimetre accuracy when scanning. The Bidirectional tool operation guarantees high density sampling rates for each application, ensuring 100% probability of detection of critical defects and extremely thin piping. 100% inspection coverage of wells, risers, casings, caverns, hydrants and fingers can now be performed with this tool.
