Robotic Crawlers Inspect Unpiggable Piping at Gas Compressor Station Pipe Systems
Robotic Crawlers Inspect Unpiggable Piping at Gas Compressor Station Pipe Systems Using advanced robotic in-line inspection crawlers, Diakont has been successfully inspecting gas compressor station piping systems since 2004, and has assessed over 375 miles of unpiggable facility piping. Comprised of anywhere from 2000’ to 6000’ of pipe due to substantial mechanical and thermal stresses, compressor stations are difficult to inspect. Using proven, high-accuracy inspection methods, Diakont provides in- line pipe inspection services for these facilities to uncover potential hazards, including corrosion, lack of fusion on girth welds, and metal loss. Problem Gas compressor stations had difficult to access pipes that required inspection Most pipelines within the gas system were installed in the
