Organised by Clarion Technical Conferences and Tiratsoo Technical (a division of Great Southern Press), the Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Management (PPIM) Conference and Exhibition was held from 14-17 February 2011 at the Marriot Westchase, Houston, Texas, USA.
In its 23rd year PPIM, the only event in the world tailored specifically to the pigging industry, was a tremendous success, bringing the whole pigging industry together in the one place. With the support of Platinum Sponsor Rosen, Gold Sponsors AGR Field Services and Enduro, and Silver Sponsors A.Hak and EMS, the event attracted a large number of delegates and trade visitors.
Attendees had the opportunity to talk one-on-one with pigging manufacturers and suppliers, pipeline operation and integrity management experts, and other related service providers.
Featuring all of the latest pipeline inspection, rehabilitation and maintenance equipment, including cleaning and calliper pigs, in-line inspection tools, brushes, NDT, and more, the Exhibition allowed delegates and trade visitors individual contact with pipeline pigging and inspection equipment manufacturers and suppliers.
Attendees were able to expand their business network by speaking first-hand with company representatives who could provide tailored advice to specific queries.
Exhibiting companies included AGR Field Services, A.Hak, Allan Edwards, Applus RTD, CDI, Clock Spring, EMS, Enduro, GE Oil & Gas/PII Solutions, Girard Industries, Mears Group, NDT, Quest Integrity Group, Rosen, STATS Group and TD Williamson.
Planning is already underway for the 24th annual PPIM Conference and Exhibition, which will once again be held at the Marriot Westchase in Houston, from 6-9 February 2012. Make sure you don’t miss the once-a-year chance to meet with all the major pigging, in-line inspection and integrity management service providers in one place.
