Analytic Pipe GmbH was founded in 1999 by Uwe Dietrich (Managing Director) who, together with his team of pipeline engineers and service technicians, formed a company which offers effective and economical pipeline inspection services to the pipeline industry worldwide. The joint venture will initially offer Caliper Inspections for pipe sizes from 6” (DN150) up to 60” (DN1500) and for pipelines up to 800 km in length.

In signing the MoU with iPP Industries Mr Dietrich said, “We have a great opportunity to shift the focus of pipeline operations personnel toward our state of the art technology, and with the assistance and cooperation of our partners iPP Industries, we believe we will achieve our goal to become the leading provider of pipeline inspection services in this region. In addition, our future focus will see the widening of our services through the introduction of state of the art MFL Inspection Tools that will be serviced and run by our Australian partner, iPP.”

“iPP offer wide ranging experience through the design, manufacture and supply of pig launchers, pig receivers, pipeline pigs and pigging services throughout Australia and Asia Pacific for over 15 years. We are fortunate to have formed a strong partnership with such a well-recognised and respected company as iPP,” Mr Dietrich added.

Analytic Pipe and iPP Industries will offer Caliper Pigging Services for new and existing pipelines in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, and iPP will undertake training of Australian-based technicians to liaise with customers on pipeline inspections along with presentation and evaluation of collected pipeline data.
