About Pipelines: Pipeline Design
Learn about the many aspects involved in designing transmission pipelines – from routing to pipeline coatings to construction.
About Pipelines: Pipeline Technology
Discover the innovative technologies used to monitor, inspect and protect transmission pipelines, including cathodic protection, leak detection, inline inspection and directional drilling.
About Pipelines: Pipeline Integrity
Watch an integrity dig of a transmission pipeline to learn this precise process is performed, and why they are a key tool in keeping pipelines operating safely.
Pipeline Pigs
Our member companies deploy sophisticated “in-line” inspection tools (pigs) that inspect pipelines from the inside to identify changes such as dents or wall thinning that could threaten the integrity of the pipeline. In this video we are shown how a pig is launched.

Pipeline Coating Defects
The pipeline industry has been using increasingly more sophisticated tools to detect potential damages to pipelines. This video shows how such tool using a sensor is able to detect a crack in the pipeline.

Pipeline Integrity
The operations of a pipeline is a complex system that involves numerous steps and use of technology. In this video, we are shown a pipeline inspection tool traveling through a pipeline, the information it collects and how this information is fed and analyzed by a computer program that will allow a pipeline operator to “diagnose” the integrity of its pipeline.
