Pigs have been used for over 100 years to perform a wide range of duties from the relatively routine (such as removing debris, eg scale, water, wax) to the more complicated like multi-diameter or internal inspection of a pipeline.

Other challenges such as assessing the integrity of composite (flexible) pipelines, accurate leak detection, extending the useful life of the pipeline asset coupled with greater assurance of the internal condition of the pipeline, demand new or improved pigging solutions.

BHRSolutions, through its own technology and product development programme, and in partnership with other organisations, provides solutions for many of these through services including:

• Feasibility and design studies
• Troubleshooting and technical audits
• Contracted research
• Product development
• Novel design and concept evaluation
• Product testing and optimisation

Benefits
