Sky Cato, Internal Pipeline Solutions, USA, describes an in-situ coating process using pigs, that can internally coat pipelines and carry out rehabilitation works. Aprocess referred to as pig applied in-situ coating is changing the way pipelines are internally coated and rehabilitated. The process is unique in that the full length of new and old pipelines are cleaned and epoxy coated with the use of pipeline pigs, in turn, cleaning and epoxy coating up to 20 miles of pipe without segmenting and only accessing both ends of the pipeline. Internal Pipeline Solutions developed a process that has been proven to increase the working life of pipelines by 20 years or more.
