PIGWaves - “In-Line Service for Internal Inspection of Unpiggable Buried Oil Pipeleines Using Long Range Ultrasound Guided Waves in Fifty Metre Segments” is a European Research & Development Project funded under FP7/Capacities “Research for SMEs” Programme. This project addresses the need to develop inspection tools for in-service NDT inspection of unpiggable pipelines while at the same time replacing existing methods of inspection for piggable pipes with (i) orders of magnitude less data storage time with consequent (ii) greater (robot) inspection speed and (iii) far quicker availability of the inspection results after robot recovery.
The pipeline infrastructure in Europe is estimated at more than 537,679 km of pipes, many of which carry hazardous fluids, oil products, chemicals, caustic acids, corrosives and combustible gases. Corrosion and defects in inaccessible areas of pipelines can remain undetected until a leak occurs due to pipeline failure which can wreak havoc for the environment as well as the economy.
