Graffin Technologies has developed two pipeline electronic geometry inspection tools, Pipelines Electronic Geometry (PEG) and O’clock Wise Pipelines Electronic Geometry (O'PEG), which are used to locate and measure geometric deviations of pipelines
Geometry anomalies such as dents, twists, buckles, ovality, and wrinkles in pipelines can significantly impact their safe operation. They can restrict the flow of transported media and induce spot-like formations of sedimentation, turbulence, erosion, corrosion, and hydrate. These anomalies can occur during pipeline coating, transportation, storage, and laying of new constructions. During operations, baseline geometry defects on onshore lines can be caused by landslides, earth tremors, and nearby construction. In subsea lines, shifting currents, floods, and tides can move the pipelines from their original position.
