How we delivered a turnkey mechanical cleaning and ultrasonic inline inspection solution for brine pipelines
Highlight
Highlight
Intero successfully cleaned and inspected two brine saltwater pipelines within a narrow shutdown window, delivering high-quality inspection data and enabling the client to proactively manage integrity risks despite limited pipeline history.

Challenge - Solution - Outcome
The client needed to clean and inspect two 6" brine saltwater pipelines at a gas storage cavern facility in the USA.
With no previous pigging history and minimal pipeline records, the condition of the lines was largely unknown. Risks included potential tight radius bends, wall thickness variations, heavy scaling, and debris accumulation.
All work had to be executed within a short shutdown window, making schedule certainty, safety, and data quality critical to project success.
