Introducing the team
GE Energy's pipeline services team based in Houston brings stronger local capabilities and enhanced customer service to the region.

UltraScan™ Duo enables advanced pipeline diagnosis
In 2004, GE Energy completed its innovative adaptation of Phased Array Ultrasound Technology from healthcare diagnostics to create the most advanced inspection tool for evaluating the ‘health’ of liquid pipelines.

Simplifying crack detection for propane lines
Recent technological developments in UltraScan™ CD have overcome the data gathering difficulties traditionally associated with propane gas. The tool can now perform in-line inspections without the need for a liquid batch.

The unpiggable dilemma
Rigorous new criteria being instated by many countries will require operators to conduct regular inspections and integrity assessments of their pipelines – even for the significant proportion of lines currently considered unpiggable. Read about the alternatives available, as well as how emerging technologies can pick up where traditional methods fall short.

SmartScan™ explores uncharted territory
SmartScan is the first in-line inspection tool capable of navigating many of the pipelines worldwide that are currently classified unpiggable. It delivers a comprehensive integrity evaluation enabling data to be fully integrated, aligned and visualized for maximum analysis value.
