Piper, CPM’s in-line screening technology powered by INGU is a small diameter sphere that can travel freely with product flow through most pipelines. It is an excellent solution to screen pipelines for local leaks, air pockets, geometry and other information. Consecutive runs through a pipeline deliver additional layers of information that can enhance inspection quality and reliability. Ideally this type of technology can be used successfully to locate leaks on water mains and identify leaks and air pockets on sewer force mains. Once air pockets are identified on a force main application a more detailed pipe wall assessment can be performed.

APPLICATIONS

• 3-inch to 78-inch water or wastewater mains

• Lines that can’t be taken out of service

• Non-piggable pipelines

• Any pipe material

• Long pipeline lengths (up to 12 miles in one day)

• Deeply trenched pipelines

• New pipeline base lining

These miniature, in-line sensors efficiently detect threats to pipeline performance, providing a low-cost alternative to traditional inline inspections. A final report is delivered detailing findings and providing location information correlated with client records.
