Mateus is a specialist in pipeline engineering with a focus on pigging systems, working for 4Pipe as commercial director.
This workshop pairs perfectly well with episode with Harry Polman last Sunday, so you can have the a full picture.
If the intake pipelines aren’t maintained, the plant cannot run at full capacity, as we already mentioned.
This leads to penalties, unhappy clients, and, most importantly, a lack of water for the people and industries that need it.
Pigging is a tool that prevents these failures, yet it is often overlooked during the design phase! It looks simple, but it is quite tricky in certain aspects.
So here I try to share the main lessons to consider in your projects when approaching pigging systems.
Please, at least check the video preview so you can see the camera inspection inside the intake pipeline, and all the marine life living inside!
