Direct Assessment Of Cased Pipeline Segments
Using our Magnetic Cased Crawler (MCC) our team provides pipeline operators with a live, high resolution inspection of cased pipeline segments. The remote controlled, tethered robot allows our team to directly assess cased pipe from within the annular space to locate damaged spacers, shorts and determine the condition of carrier pipeline coating. It can also verify if debris or water have infiltrated the casing, acquire spot wall thickness measurements and measure the temperature and humidity from within the annulus.
Robotic Cased Pipeline Inspection
How It Works
Robotic Cased Pipeline Inspection
Key Benefits
Real-Time, High Resolution Video
A real-time feed of video from the crawler can be viewed during the inspection and provided on DVD for post-inspection review.
Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements
Data can be measured through various types of coatings including coal tar TGF-3, enamels and epoxies and PE two-layer coatings such as PRITEC.
Advanced Video Measurement
Debris, damage and pipeline features are accurately measured using specialized software.
Ultra-Compact Crawler
The MCC measures 1″ tall and is capable of traveling in tight annular spaces and past common spacer types and debris.
Additional Sensor Data
Sensors can measure circumferential location as well as the temperature and humidity of the annular space.
Data and Reporting
In addition to providing recorded video, our team also produces detailed reports that help you better understand the condition of your cased pipeline.
