This Is What Real-World Pipeline Complexity Looks Like.
Tight bends. Elevation changes. Congested routing. Multiple diameters. Exactly the kind of asset that often gets labelled “unpiggable.” This is where conventional inspection tools struggle but exactly the environment where our Phased Array inspection tools are designed to operate. Engineered for complex geometry, low-flow conditions, and non-standard launch scenarios, so operators don’t have to compromise on inspection quality just because the pipeline isn’t simple. Learn Mor

Not All Pipelines Are Designed And Built With Smart Pigging And Inspection In Mind, So We Have To Adapt With Innovative Tool Design. Challenging Pipelines Are Our Main Focus.
PAUT-PIG™ is engineered specifically for challenging pipeline conditions, where conventional inspection tools struggle or simply can’t run 👇 • Vertical sections • Multi-diameter lines • Low flow / low pressure conditions • Tight 1D bends • Mitred bends • No launcher / no receiver • Valve launches When a pipeline is labelled “unpiggable”, that’s usually where PAUT-PIG™ starts to make sense.

Why Our Phased Array ILI Technology Outperforms Conventional UT Tools On Stainless Steel Pipelines
Stainless steel is unforgiving for inspections. The high attenuation and course grain structure can all degrade conventional UT results. Phased Array in-line inspection technology (PAUT ILI) is built to overcome this. With electronically steered beams, multiple focal laws with a wide aperture, PAUT delivers higher signal-to-noise, and far superior defect characterisation vs Conventional UT. Wall loss, pitting, and cracking are detected and sized with far greater confidence -

In-Line Inspection Of 2" / 3" / 4" Pipelines Is Where Intelligent Pigging Design Really Gets Pushed To Its Limits.
Everyone assumes large-diameter tools are the hardest to build. In reality, it’s the small lines that present the biggest challenge. Our 2" / 3" / 4" tools achieve: ✔ At least 128 channels of PAUT (for combined wall loss, geometry & crack) ✔ XYZ mapping capability for tracking with IMU chips and EM transmitters ✔ Large enough batteries for pipelines 25km+ ✔ Dual odometers for positional accuracy ✔ Bi-directional and multi-diameter inspection requirements All inside a pac

That Familiar Sound Of Our Phased Array UT Smart Pig Odometers Rolling Against The Pipe Wall Makes Tracking The Pig Easy When We’re Overground.
When it goes underground, the EM transmitters combined with AGM's come into play to keep us notified of its location. Between sound and signal, we always know: ✔ How far the tool has travelled ✔ That it’s still moving and hasn't stopped ✔ That it’s progressing safely through the line No guesswork. No unknowns. Just constant confirmation that the inspection is running as planned. This is what real-world pipeline inspection looks like when the terrain is rough and the stakes

Tight 1D Bends Aren’t An Obstacle, They’re A Design Challenge
Our Phased Array in-line inspection (ILI) tools are engineered from day one to flex, articulate, and adapt, maintaining sensor contact and data quality even through the most demanding tight geometries. Because if your tool can’t get through the pipeline, it can’t inspect it. 🚀 Learn More: www.vectorinspection.com
