A.Hak Pipelines & Facilities products

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.

Data is our central deliverable. Data you can understand. Data you can use. Data that paints an accurate picture of your pipelines and the integrity of your assets. More than ensuring industry and legal compliance, the data we provide our customers allows them to make smart, informed decisions about their assets: do they have issues, how severe are they, how should they get prioritized for repair and maintenance. Our Pipe Explorer series of inline inspection robots are self-propelled, tetherless, smart machines that collect high-accuracy, multipoint data with consistent reliability. They are bi-directional and free from speed excursions.

Our ability to provide our customers with high-accuracy data lies at the intersection of our multipoint data collection and the experienced analysts who manage the data from collection to interpretation. From start to finish, we are in control of collection and analysis; ensuring our clients get the highest quality data with minimal risk of data gaps or inaccuracy. Once our robot is in the pipe, Pipe Explorer begins transmitting live video and data to both Pipetel and pipeline operators for the duration of the inspection. In real time, all the key stakeholders have an initial view of the pipeline and can see its general state and condition.

At the end of the day, the success or failure of a project comes down to how well it’s planned and executed. At Pipetel, we pride ourselves on providing impeccable, reliable service from the first phone call to the final analyses and delivered report. We make the effort to ensure our projects are planned and executed with high levels of detail and precision.

InvoDane Engineering was at the forefront in the development of Pipe Explorer. Charged with refining and enhancing the work of Carnegie Mellon University and Southwest Research Institute, InvoDane helped bring Pipe Explorer to market. Today, InvoDane works closely with our engineers to develop solutions, innovations, and enhancements to our technologies based on real-world challenges and requirements we encounter in the field. With InvoDane, we can solve virtually any inline inspection challenge.
