3D laser scanner for surface inspection
Creaform

To avoid costly pipeline failures, inspections are performed to evaluate the pipeline degradation and remaining service life. Pipeline operators and NDT service companies must deal with increasing pressure from regulatory authorities and environmentalists to guarantee the pipeline network's integrity, while keeping maintenance costs as low as possible. Considering these factors, they need to look for portability, measurement speed, data storage, and repeatability in their choice of an inspection tool.

PIPECHECK: CREAFORM'S SOLUTION FOR PIPELINE EXTERNAL CORROSION ASSESSMENT

Creaform's solution is comprised of a Handyscan 3D laser scanner and the Pipecheck data acquisition/analysis software. Pipecheck is an innovative, intuitive and highly-effective approach to pipeline external corrosion inspection, and it represents the best alternative on the market to traditional NDT methods for this application.

Pipecheck's pipeline external corrosion module offers very fast, efficient and streamlined data processing that actually generates instant, on-site results. Data are presented in a complete Excel report, and show increased accuracy and repeatability compared to traditional measurement methods such as pit gauge, ultrasonic (UT) probes and single-line lasers.
