Explore Tanzania capacityFrom readiness to integrity insight
One inspection campaign.
Five connected stages.
An integrated service scope, with inspection technology selected to suit the pipeline and required detection performance.
Prepare the line
Pre-inspection cleaning, gauging and readiness planning for waxy crude conditions, variable internal diameters and the selected inspection spread.
Cleaning / GaugingInspect geometry
Deformation inspection to identify and characterise pipeline geometry features, with tool selection matched to the line’s operating envelope.
Geometry / DeformationAssess metal & cracks
High-resolution metal-loss and crack inspection using contractor-proposed MFL, UT or EMAT technologies, qualified for the required detection scope.
MFL / UT / EMATMap & track
High-accuracy IMU/DGPS mapping, above-ground markers and acoustic or electromagnetic pig tracking, with controlled launcher and receiver operations.
IMU / DGPS / TrackingTurn data into decisions
Data processing, anomaly characterisation, defect sizing and Fitness-for-Service assessments prepared for integration with EACOP’s pipeline integrity management system.

Designed around demanding conditions
Heated crude.
Low velocity. Variable bore.
Heated, waxy crude pipelines require careful tool selection. The reference operating envelope below guides technical discussions; suitability is confirmed for each engagement.
Required tool temperature rating
Continuous logging autonomy
Low pipeline operating velocity
Internal diameter range across the stated wall sections
The reference envelope includes waxy crude conditions up to 63°C WAT, multi-diameter adaptability and compliance with POF 2021, API 1163, ASNT ILI-PQ and ASME B31.4/B31G.
