Description
This project tested and verified the accuracy of smart pigs and remaining strength or reliability methods. With the resources of Winmar, Rosen, Pipeline Integrity International and the University of California at Berkeley, several pipelines over a two-year period were smart pigged, and then over-pressured to failure.
This project was kicked off in May, 2000. The testing of the first pipeline candidate will occurred in October, 2000. The first test candidate was tested in May 2001 with three additional tests in the Summer 2001.
