Complex plant pipeline systems require advanced inspection capabilities. PAUT-PIG™ is designed to navigate valves, branch connections, and interconnected assets while delivering reliable pipeline integrity data.

PAUT-PIG™ combines advanced phased array ultrasonic technology with smart pigging to deliver high-resolution wall loss, cracking, and geometry inspection, helping operators reduce risk and maximise pipeline performance.

Reliable inspection data helps operators avoid costly repeat inspection runs, supporting confident integrity decisions, efficient maintenance planning, and long-term asset reliability.

Field preparation remains a critical part of every long distance inspection operation. Before launch, the team confirmed the PAUT PIG™ position inside the launcher to support safe and controlled deployment into the pipeline. ✔ Accurate tracking confirmation ✔ Reliable launch preparation ✔ Coordinated field operations ✔ Support for consistent inspection performance At Vector Inspection, every stage of the operation is focused on delivering reliable pipeline integrity data. Spe

Vector-View™ converts high-resolution inline inspection data into clear, actionable integrity reports, helping operators prioritise repairs, manage risk, and plan maintenance with confidence.

Before long distance inspection runs begin, testing helps confirm operational readiness under realistic conditions. Captured during mock up testing activities, the PAUT PIG™ was received following controlled launch and receiver operations in the field. ✔ Mock up inspection activities ✔ Receiver operation testing ✔ Tool handling validation ✔ Field readiness preparation Reliable inspection performance begins with thorough operational preparation.

PAUT-PIG™ converts billions of ultrasonic data points into detailed, colour-mapped inspection results, providing accurate anomaly sizing, precise location data, and clear visualisation for confident pipeline integrity decisions.

Vector Inspection provides advanced phased array ultrasonic furnace tube inspections to accurately detect corrosion, cracking, and degradation, helping operators improve reliability and extend asset life.

PAUT-PIG™ combines phased array ultrasonic technology with advanced inline inspection capabilities to detect wall loss, cracks, geometry changes, and provide XYZ mapping in a single inspection run.

Corrosion clusters can develop over time and may have a greater impact on pipeline integrity than isolated defects. Detecting and accurately characterising these areas is essential for understanding the true condition of a pipeline. 🔷 Detection of corrosion clusters 🔷 Accurate sizing and mapping 🔷 Reliable integrity assessment 🔷 Data to support maintenance planning Our Phased Array PAUT-PIG™ delivers high-quality inspection data, providing confidence in corrosion cluster

PAUT-PIG™ is designed to inspect pipelines with challenging geometry, including tight bends, buried sections, and complex routing, helping operators obtain high-quality inspection data from difficult-to-access assets.

Complex process plant pipelines require inspection technology that can navigate tight bends, valves, diameter transitions, and difficult routing. PAUT-PIG™ is designed to maintain inspection capability through challenging sections of the line.

PAUT-PIG™ identifies and sizes external pitting corrosion from inside the pipeline, providing accurate remaining wall thickness data to support targeted repairs and long-term pipeline integrity.

Continuous tracking and experienced field operations help ensure accurate tool monitoring and reliable progress throughout long-distance inline pipeline inspections.

From plant infrastructure to external pipeline networks, PAUT-PIG™ provides advanced inline inspection technology that helps operators understand asset condition and support long-term pipeline integrity.

PAUT-PIG™ combines high-resolution phased array ultrasonic wall loss inspection with geometry assessment, identifying critical pipeline features in a single inspection run to support smarter integrity management.

Long-distance pipeline inspections rely on accurate tool tracking and coordinated field operations. Vector Inspection combines advanced PAUT PIG™ technology with experienced field teams to ensure reliable inspection delivery.

PAUT-PIG™ delivers high-resolution 4-in-1 phased array inline inspection, reducing the need for multiple smart pigging runs while supporting safer assets and efficient integrity management.

PAUT-PIG™ provides high-resolution phased array ultrasonic inspection to detect external corrosion with millimetre accuracy, enabling targeted repairs and supporting long-term pipeline integrity.

Effective pipeline cleaning is the foundation of accurate in-line inspection. Vector provides both professional pipeline cleaning and ILI services to help maximise inspection performance and data quality.
