Public Abstract

The purpose of this research is to conduct a baseline study of alternative ILI vehicles that might be able to negotiate unpiggable pipelines. The researchers will: (1) document the status of unpiggable pipelines and mitigation options, (2) document designs of ILI devices being used in other industries, (3) identify options to inspect transmission and distribution lines, (4) document current ILI systems in the U.S. and abroad, and (5) summarize internal tool capability in other related industries (nuclear, water, plant production).

- Total Project Proposal $80,000.00.

Status History

Project initiated in October 2002. Project duration of 9 months.
