This involves sending a pig equipped with highly sensitive measuring instruments through the pipeline. The device uses ultrasound to check every millimetre of the inside for corrosion. This also allows any deformation of the pipe to be detected. Due to its underground location, the pipeline is also largely protected from the effects of weather.
