The pig doesn't harm the pipeline it just checks for internal corrosion. The danger is, if there's excessive internal corrosion in the pipeline, thats how you get a boom! Hence the routine maintenance. if there's a spot that needs to get fixed, on a natural gas pipeline you weld a "wedding band" on it. Two half pieces of pipe that are welded on top of the existing pipe where the repair needs to be made.
what does he say? "doing penetrative radiotivity has big risk of blowin a hole in the earth?" I cant understand it but i think he says penetrative radioactivity.
The voice over from discovery channel makes it sound very dramatic, but this is nothing more then an easy routine job for these boys. 316 km of straight pipe, nothing fancy.
These are the jobs, where I always take a couple of trainees with me to get a feeling of the onsite activities.
Uploader: Thanks for the up! You have any idea if the whole documentary is available somewhere on the net?
Im currently in the USAF doing NDI on F15E Fighter jets and i was wondering what kind of training or degree id have to get to do NDT once I leave the service. I have over 200hrs in mag partical, flouresent penetrant, UT, eddy current and x ray.
They probably want the cream of the cream... but they haven't or don't get it. This Vectra tool is outdated and still being offered as 'new-developped'. Wasn't it this company which inspected the Alaskan pipeline?
Anyway, youtube is not the right website to discuss who is better or not. I thank the uploader for this footage.

@ggelk The best sense I can get is:
"Penetrated rigs through would be . . . is . . . very dangerous. There's high risk of explosion and tearing a huge hole into the earth, ha ha ha."

Can it detect HIC (hydrogen Induced Cracking) on a pipeline? Knowing that this is EC and best for surface defects only.

They are not interested in a big share of the market, they just one the cream of the cream. That's why they are so expensive

Just check the market statistics and you will see that BJ is NOT in the top3!
