VOYAGEUR

Objectif

Design, build and test a pipeline inspection device (pig) based on new instrumental concepts; this "pig" will perform traditionnal internal inspection (gauging/calipering) and also gather all necessary "navigation" data to compute and draw:
- the pipe path or trajectory
- the critical mechanical constraints (free spans)
providing a full geometrical survey of the pipelines.
Detail engineering has defined both the mechanical construction ( scraper, body, chainage sensor arm and monitoring bracket, mechanical link between units) and the sensor instrumentation pack. Various tests on components have proven a gross precision better than 1 % of the distance travelled which can lead after computer procession to less than 5. 10-4.
Tests on site have shown a very high degree of super imposition of recorded and as-laid drawings.
PHASE 1
This phase is a general design phase, including:
- technical definition
- environmental characterisation
- system general architecture
- specifications
- drawings
PHASE 2
- construction of the prototype
- writing of all necessary computer programs
- laboratory tests
- environmental qualification
PHASE 3
- field testing
