Inspecting concrete lined pipelines remains one of the most demanding tasks in pipeline integrity management. Why? Because internal liners prevent reliable sound coupling and create sensor distances that push conventional inspection technologies to their physical limits.
👉🏼In this video, we show how MagControl overcomes this challenge.
During a verification test on a recovered 20-inch concrete lined pipeline section (spiral welded), MagControl demonstrated reliable detection of all typical internal and external defects, fully aligned with the recommendations of the Pipeline Operators Forum.
✔️ Reliable inspection through concrete liners
✔️ Effective at sensor distances of up to 15 mm
✔️ Consistent defect detection confirmed by repeated tests
MagControl closes a critical gap for difficult-to-inspect pipelines and enables confident defect assessment, even in concrete lined, spiral welded pipelines.
