A mandatory party of the pre-commissioning process, hydrostatic testing is also performed on in-service pipelines. Pigging's role is to ensure that the line is clean and that potentially damaging construction debris has been cleared away.
Pigging is also used for line-filling and dewatering. ARR can help you about the right pigging equipment and services for each step of the hydrostatic testing process.
Standard Features
- Selecting the right equipment is one of the most important steps operators can take to ensure a successful pipeline maintenance plan.
- We'll help you understand which ARR pig is best for your pipeline environment, size, product, goals and timeline.
- Pigs are run successfully every day.
- However, every so often a pig becomes stuck, stalled or damaged inside the pipeline.
- The pig removal process begins by understanding why the pig became stuck. Then ARR engineers develop customized recovery operations that take into consideration pig type, its location, pipeline product and other variables.
- The result? Safe removal, without product loss or asset damage.
