FourQuest firmly believes that every pipeline operation offers the opportunity for actionable insight into the condition of the pipeline. Every utility pig run can be analyzed to provide key information related to the surface condition of the line – roughness, debris buildup, ovality, bends, buckles, and dents. Providing clients with actionable insights will ensure a well-maintained asset and minimize risk before deploying inline inspection runs. Choosing the correct pig is important; however, understanding the pig condition and behavior leads to insight.
