Advanced Pipe Explorer Robotics Technology Makes Every Pipeline Accessible
Self-propelled, remotely-controlled, and fully-articulated, Pipe Explorer goes where most cannot. With a minimal footprint, the ability to operate in active pipelines, and by collecting multipoint data in one pass, Pipe Explorer is the standard against which all others should be compared.
Our fleet of Pipe Explorer advanced robots are at the heart of the value we bring our customers. Fully-articulated and tetherless, Pipe Explorer provides comprehensive data that is comparable if not superior to more conventional pipeline inspection methods, enabling visual and non-destructive inspection with multipoint data collection of natural gas transmission and distribution pipelines as well as liquid terminals, facilities, and stations regardless of the difficulty of the location or complexity of the pipeline.
For maximum flexibility, our UT ILI Pipeline Surveyors applies a contact-free ultrasonic measuring head that is able to scan the full surface of the pipe wall. Dual diameter, mitered bends, full-bore unbarred tee pieces, and single entry configurations are well within the capabilities of our system and can be inspected utilizing regular, high, and ultra-high resolutions. Our innovative solutions provide insight in unpiggable pipelines ranging from 3” to 64” and located from subsea offshore to remote areas anywhere in the world.
For the last decennia, pipeline operators have invested in launchers and receivers and numerous related appendages, to make pipelines piggable and regular inspections possible. To supply this market with a competitive ultrasonic inspection tool, Intero Integrity has developed an ultrasonic based inline inspection solution.
Intero’s high resolution pipeline inspection solutions:
Better data, more insight, rock solid decisions.
This ILI tool provides a flexible platform to enable inspection of these lines online and while immersed in product, such as liquid. The tool is propelled through the line by the liquid and, due to its enhanced velocity, allows more options for using batches in gas pipelines. To go with the flow.
Our tool combines the advantages of ‘free-swimming’ and ‘cable-operated’ inspection systems and, as a result, has eliminated the disadvantages of both. Furthermore, the system is suitable for passing small radius bends, mitered bends and multiple diameters, and can be bi-directional.
For down hole and offtake piping such as risers, casings, caverns, hydrants and so called fingers, Intero Integrity Services offers an effective solution: a precision scan of risk areas. Using highly advanced ultrasonic pigging technology, in combination with a winch, a safe and thorough inspection can be performed to quickly and easily evaluate the operational efficiency of your installation.
What really matters is on the inside.
We provide insightful data for your most difficult to inspect pipelines.
Inspection of risers, casings, caverns, hydrants and fingers will assist in determining the condition of the lines as well as the overall efficiency of the installation. In addition, regular cleaning and inspection of these lines is essential in ensuring compliance with increasingly stringent safety regulations and standards.
Intero Integrity Services’ are the leading experts in non-piggable pipeline solutions. We have been active in the field since the mid-90s and have developed the tools, technologies and equipment to allow inspection of even the most challenging lines. Our specialized down hole pipeline and offtake inspection method, using ultrasonic Pipeline Surveyors, allows a fast and complete pipeline assessment that is safe, reliable and yields results instantly.

The so-called second generation Heater Surveyor is for the inspection of heater/furnace tubes, whether they are smooth, studded or finned. Intero Integrity Services designed Heater Surveyor is an intelligent free-swimming tool that is capable of inspecting the tubes and bends of the furnace, with a minimum impact on shutdown time.
Intero’s Industrial Services lead European pipeline and process services, offering precommissioning to decommissioning, leak-free start-ups, and rapid cool-downs. The commissioning and purging services are tailored to minimize turnaround times while prioritizing environmentally conscious practices, efficient cleaning, and waste elimination.
The Industrial Services division of Intero Integrity Services is the European leader in pipeline and process services for pre-commissioning, commissioning, decommissioning during shutdowns.
Product lines which contain petroleum and crude lines containing fuel oil often develop a build-up of wax-type residue on the pipe wall. Usually this cannot be removed by normal displacement of the line and special cleaning programs need to be prepared and implemented to ensure the line is completely clean and free of any wax/paraffin deposits.
Are your tanks and pipelines hard to clean? Not anymore!
Tailored cleaning solutions. That’s innovative. That’s Intero.
We specialize in highly effective pipeline cleaning solutions and offer a range of flexible cleaning services that can be adapted to suit specific system requirements to ensure a completely clean, if necessary, dry and inert system.

Our multi-disciplinary teams ensure a one-stop-shop.
Prior to a heater/furnace inspection it is essential to clean the heater thoroughly to remove all the cokes in order for the ultrasound to penetrate the pipe wall. The proven Decoking Technology (HDT) provides excellent cleaning results. When combined with Heater Surveyor inspection technology, it is possible to guarantee the cleanliness of the heater tubes.
High quality cleaning and inspection contributes to the integrity of the heater, resulting in minimal shutdown time. Regular cleaning and inspection increases the reliability and continuity of your heater and knowing the remaining wall thickness of the heater tubes can also lengthen their lifecycle and prevent unwanted shutdowns.
A-scan data
The compact, lightweight, modular design of the Heater Surveyor allows a user-friendly, high performance, ultrasonic inspection of heater tubes and bends with all ultrasonic measurements stored internally. The storage of the raw A-scan data enables highly accurate and reliable data analysis. The final report is presented the day after the inspection when the results of the cleaning, if needed, and minimum wall thickness per tube are presented. The report contains a brief overview in graphical and tabular format linked to the heater layout as well as detailed C-scan graphics for each tube.The Heater Surveyor is typically configured with:

Fugitive emissions are only a part of the total emissions in oil & gas facilities. Energy losses are known to have a high Return on Investment once they are identified and repaired by the maintenance team.
For example, boilers and other steam plant producers are the most significant energy consumers in a refinery. Identifying losses from only a few defective steam traps, bypasses or process valves immediately results in high cost savings. The same applies to losses from venting and flaring, detecting errors in newly built infrastructure during a turnaround, or leaks found in compressed air systems.
Managing emissions is more than holding an infrared camera. The landscape is constantly evolving with updated or new environmental regulations and new measurement technologies. Stakeholders and the public demand emission data of gas and by-products including methane, VOCs, and hydrogen that is accurate and complete.
