Services OfferedINLINE INSPECTION & PIGGING
Across the globe, Inline inspection (ILI) is the preferred method for detecting and measuring a wide range of faults in operational pipelines. We operate a comprehensive range of ILI technologies and tool sizes to suit the needs of onshore and offshore, gas and liquid pipeline operators worldwide. Our ILI services are fully supported by specialised reporting and analysis software and are designed to locate and measure a wide variety of pipeline faults.
In addition to ILI tools, we provide a wide variety of pigging solutions for a range of applications, including pipeline bore-proving / gauging, pipeline cleaning, and profiling for the safe passage of specific ILI tools.
Our ILI services include both conventionally-driven and bi-directional tools and are based on:
- Axial-Field Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)
- Transverse-Field Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)
- Ultrasonic (UT)
- Caliper
- Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) / XYZ
- Deformation
INSPECTION SERVICES
Inspipe operates a range of inspection and quality assurance services for pipelines and other engineering structures. We operate worldwide with extensive experiences of the energy sector, including the oil, gas and renewable energy industries. Other areas within our experiences include ship building, dry dock ships and rigs.
All services are delivered globally by a team of highly qualified inspectors. NDT methods can be combined to provide an integrated analysis of a structure’s integrity based on multiple-technology evaluations.
As a part of our development program, we support our services with advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Automation. This delivers many benefits for clients, including enhanced economy, better repeatability and higher quality results.

IM SOFTWARE SYSTEMS
The integrity management of pipelines and other engineering assets is a highly complex process involving vast amounts of data. Since integrity management is necessay in every part of a client’s business operations, proven software solutions must be available for areas as diverse as structural integrity, product storage, metering and SCADA.
Inspipe installs, commissions and maintains client-based and cloud-based software systems to support key processes, including:
- Integrity Control
- Threat Assessment and Threat Management
- Risk Management
- High Consequence Area (HCA) Identification
- Inspection Data Optimization
- Data Acquisition & Monitoring
- Data Uploads, Data Alignment, Integration and Verification
- Data Silo Merging
- Operator Data Systems, including Field Operatives Data
- Metering & Product Reconciliation
- SCADA & IoT Software
NEW TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
Our work on new technologies is wide-ranging and includes:
- New Pipeline Materials, Construction and Threat Monitoring
- Technology Convergence, e.g. sensing, data processing, communications, IoT
- Artificial Intelligence & Robotics

- Remote Sensing, e.g. Multi-Spectral Satellite Surveys
- Augmented reality / VR
SATELLITE SURVEYS & MONITORING
Inspipe delivers Satellite Remote Sensing technology and Geospatial Analytics to support the integrity management of pipelines and other assets, and to develop business and governance solutions. Data from space borne sensors are used to measure changes and activity in the microwave, infrared and visible spectrums, allowing the observation of key phenomena that could otherwise be missed by conventional methods. From monitoring hydrocarbon pipelines, water resources and critical infrastructure, we can provide valuable insights to enable businesses and governments to make better informed decisions.
