Company Recognized for Work on Virginia Pipeline
HOUSTON, Oct. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The 2023 Gulf Energy Information Excellence awards Smartpipe Technologies as “Best Pipeline Integrity Technology®” for Enbridge’s replacement of its pipeline in Roanoke County, Virginia.
Smartpipe’s trenchless high-pressure reinforced thermoplastic pipe was produced on-site and vacuumed into the existing main with minimal disruption to existing land use such as a working farm and adjacent residential community, eliminating the need for a complete excavation of the right-way. Built-in fiber optic detection generation enables continuous monitoring, real-time data sharing, and enhanced detection of third-party leaks and intrusions. It is also the first implementation of Smartpipe’s newly patented in-line inspection generation, which enables periodic inspections. of composite pipe through Smartpipe’s SQUIID, a clever pig for non-metallic pipes. Other key features of this generation are production and replacement efficiency, as well as a 70% lower carbon footprint than classic metal pipe replacement.
“Our Smartpipe team is revered for being identified for Enbridge’s pipe replacement task in Roanoke County, Virginia,” said Gary Littlestar, CEO of Smartpipe®. “We highly value our partnership with Enbridge and look to the future to deploy our generation at scale, to continue to protect pipelines through our complex tracking and inspection capabilities, while particularly reducing the carbon footprint of pipeline replacement tasks.
