Unpiggable pipelines are an increasing industry focus. For this reason, Clarion and Tiratsoo Technical, a division of Great Southern Press, are organising the Unpiggable Pipeline Solutions Forum, to be held at the Houston Marriott Westchase Hotel, Texas, USA, from 30–31 March 2011.

This two-day Forum will address capabilities and guidance concerning tools for corrosion and mechanical damage inspection of unpiggable oil, gas and hazardous liquids pipelines. The Forum will focus on existing technologies as well as those currently in research and development.

Advances and best practices in above-ground remote assessments, guided wave technologies, and internal corrosion direct assessment methods will form a significant part of the programme.

Live-line access techniques, combined with low-flow restriction robotic and wire-line-powered internal inspection tools, will also be a special focus, especially for pipeline segments that cannot be taken out of service when further integrity inspections are required.
