Inspection of buried steel or cast iron pipe networks
ABOVEGROUND INSPECTION FOR BURIED PIPELINES
EMPIT is a new leading company in the field of magnetic surveying for the purpose of contactless pipeline inspection. A novel approach, field experience and commitment have enabled us to develop something groundbreaking for the pipeline industry:
CURRENT MAGNETOMETRY INSPECTION | CMI
Aboveground inspection developed to inspect and map underground buried pipelines.
- In-Service inspection for buried pipelines without soil removal.
- Works independent of pipeline geometry and is designed to inspect unpiggable pipelines.
- Overcomes the major limitations of modern In-Line Inspection (ILI) tools such as smart pigs, crawlers or free floating tools.
Information provided by CMI cannot be provided by traditional integrity tools or inspection companies.
»Through the development of CMI - EMPIT reinvents pipeline surveying.«
