Why is in-line inspection critical for Unpiggable or challenging pipelines?

Traditional UT pigging tools often can’t access complex pipeline systems due to their large size, weight and number of pods. That’s where our lightweight and agile intelligent pigging tools make the difference.
Utilising 35 years of ultrasonic electronic design experience and the latest ultrasonic chips on the market has enabled us to miniaturise our pigging tools to an unimaginable scale while maintaining a sensor count high enough to achieve 100% internal pipe coverage.
Our 4-in-1 PAUT pigging tools can detect cracks, wall loss, geometry and capture XYZ mapping all in a single run.
The result?
✅Actionable integrity data
✅Reduced downtime
✅Extended asset life
Quick tip for operators:
If your pipeline has a small diameter, tight bends and limited access, ask your inspection provider if their tools can deliver both wall loss, geometry and mapping in one pass. It’s a game changer for asset integrity.
At Vector Inspection, we’re redefining what’s possible in pipeline inspection.
