The focus will be on the capabilities of existing technologies as well as those in research and development.
Advances and best practices in above-ground remote assessments, externally mounted assessment tools such as guided-wave or MFL, and combinations with direct assessment methodologies will form a significant part of the program.
Live-line access techniques, combined with low-flow restriction robotic and wire-line-powered internal inspection tools – and new free-swimming tools for challenging configurations – will also be a special focus, especially for pipeline segments that cannot be taken out of service when there is a need for reliable integrity inspections.
The organisers invite presentations covering recent experiences and successes with “unpiggable” tools that are currently available and in use, as well as reports on promising research and development in this field.
Abstract deadline: 19 January, 2015 Final paper deadline: 20 April, 2015
