Speir Hunter

speir hunter ltd, in partnership with the university of leeds in the uk, has engineered the science of stress-magnetisation to create a remote pipeline inspection tool which is used by integrity engineers worldwide on both piggable and non-piggable lines. this groundbreaking technology is called stress concentration tomography, commonly referred to as sct™ or large standoff magnetometry (lsm). using sct™ enables pipeline integrity managers to fully understand the condition of their assets by providing vital information including: - abnormal localised stress areas - accurate pipeline positioning coordinates - accurate pipeline depth of cover - accurate locations of changes in pipeline diameter and wall thickness - accurate locations of illegal hot-tapping - accurate condition of pipelines in geo-hazard environments sct™ deliverables provide a pipeline integrity engineer with a plethora of valuable information to support them in making time-critical operational decisions, as well as en
