Gains with Advanced Data Assessment in ILI: Leveraging pipeline data to eliminate risk, prioritize and schedule necessary repairs

May/June 2015 Inspectioneering Journal

For traditional in-line inspection (ILI) vendors, considering 21.4 miles of a piggable 4” diesel pipeline is typically not a big deal. However, significant threats like 3rd party damage and external corrosion seem to come with the territory in...
The Challenge of Inspection and Assessment of Critical Piping Systems in Chemical Plants

July/August 2013 Inspectioneering Journal

Inspection and fitness-for-service assessments of critical in-plant piping systems are a concern for the chemical industry. This presents a potentially insurmountable task and discovery of a number of areas where the condition is at risk.

Video Description

Effective integrity management of subsea pipelines has been especially challenging due to the difficulty of pipeline access, safety, and other considerations. InVista Subsea, an advanced ultrasonic ILI tool from Quest Integrity, provides a solution for these challenging and difficult pipelines.

The animation demonstrates how the InVista Subsea tool works and why it might be a valuable asset to your subsea pipeline integrity toolbox. This unique, bi-directional ILI tool accommodates 2" – 30" pipeline diameters (including dual and multi diameter), and provides 100% overlapping coverage of geometry and metal loss features. Designed to overcome the most difficult inspection environments, its operational simplicity and navigation capabilities are unmatched in the pipeline industry. Lightweight and compact, the InVista™ tool can be launched by hand and is ideal for space-constrained environments such as wharf lines and offshore pipelines.
