Thanks to our engineers for their commitment and outstanding work.Pipecare Group enhances crawler technology for inline pipeline inspectionPipecare Group has enhanced its advanced crawler based inline inspection (ILI) technology designed for challenging pipeline environments, particularly no-flow, unpiggable, and pre-commissioning pipelines.
The system has been developed and tested across multiple sizes ranging from 8 to 56 inches, with configurations that support either tethered operation—using reinforced cables for power and control—or fully autonomous battery-powered systems with remote control, depending on pipeline length and operational requirements.
This paper presents the system architecture, operational capabilities, and technical specifications of the crawler platform, with emphasis on corrosion detection, wall thickness measurement, and geometric assessment in constrained pipeline conditions.Read the full paper here: https://ppsa-online.com/Newsletters/?ppsa-2026-may.pdf#page=12
