This project tested and verified the accuracy of smart pigs and remaining strength or
reliability methods. With the resources of Winmar, Rosen, Pipeline Integrity
International and the University of California at Berkeley, several
pipelines over a two-year period were smart pigged, and then over-pressured
to failure. This
project was kicked off in May, 2000. The testing of the first pipeline
candidate will occurred in October, 2000. The first test candidate was tested
in May 2001 with three additional tests in the Summer 2001.
