SmartScan Inspection Tool

SmartScan Inspection Tool

Cost Saving Technology

One third of the world's pipelines are currently unpiggable because of access and valve restrictions, multi-diameter designs, impassable fittings and a myriad of other configuration issues. While regulations demand more rigorous compliance criteria - operators have limited, expensive options for integrity assessment. Now, for many of those pipelines, this no longer has to be the case.

Features & Benefits

This is the first generation in a whole family of advanced in-line inspection tools based on SmartScan™ technology. These tools are capable of affordably navigating previously unpiggable pipelines - giving pipeline operators multi-million-dollar savings potential.

The SmartScan™ tool can be deployed from our innovative new angled hot-tap system and mobile launchers and receivers (patent pending) through a hydraulic chute that is attached over a smaller-bore hole in the pipe. The hot-tap fitting remains as part of your asset, providing easy access for future inspections and cleaning requirements. SmartScan™ can enter and exit pipe sections between restricted valves, can utilize valve bypasses for continuous inspection over longer distances, or can be inserted to just inspect High Consequence Areas (HCAs).
