Introduction
Maintaining clean pipelines is essential for efficiency, asset integrity and environmental sustainability. In partnership with Avove, iNPIPE PRODUCTS™ delivers cutting-edge Smart Air Pigging solutions to the water sector, leveraging decades of expertise in pipeline cleaning and inspection. This innovative approach has been recognised with a prestigious industry award, highlighting its importance to the UK water sector.
Air Pigging: Safe, Proven & Sustainable
Our air pigging technology utilises compressed air to propel cleaning tools—commonly known as ‘pigs’—through pipelines, efficiently removing debris while minimising environmental impact.
- Customised for pipelines up to 3,200mm in diameter
- Capable of travelling over 6km in a single run
- Cost-effective and highly efficient
- A reliable choice for optimising pipeline performance
This makes Smart Air Pigging a sustainable and proven alternative to traditional water flushing methods.
Smart Inspection & Pipeline Validation
Following the cleaning run, we enhance pipeline integrity assurance with advanced inspection and validation technology.
Using the Phoenix™ Debris Mapping Tool and Camera Pig, we go beyond cleaning to give you a clear, data-driven view of your pipeline’s condition:
- Real-time debris mapping – Accurately pinpoints where material builds up and quantifies the volume removed
- Internal visual inspection – Captures high-resolution imagery of the pipeline interior to confirm corrosion, tuberculation, or obstructions
- Flow condition validation – Confirms the pipeline is restored to optimum capacity after cleaning
- Geometry and restriction detection – Identifies ovality, wall damage or partial blockages
- Trend analysis & reporting – Supports predictive maintenance and provides documented evidence for compliance
This ensures that your pipeline is not only clean, but also verified, documented and ready for service.
