Permanent installation
- Why periodically survey your pipelines when you can set up permanent long-term pipeline monitoring for the same cost?
- Ultrasonic Guided Wave can permanently install the MsS guided wave system for the same cost as survey inspecting your road crossings with other piezoelectric systems.
- After the MsS probe is permanently installed, baseline data is obtained and the structure is tested periodically. The periodic data table is compared with the baseline data to identify structural changes with time.
- The MsS probes can test sections of pipelines over time, tracking and recording changing conditions of structural defects and corrosion.

Benefits of MsS Monitoring with Permanent Installation
- Quickly obtain new data with the permanently installed probes.
- One time excavation. MsS leads run above ground to the same type of test station as your CP test station.
- Data is acquired from the same location every time.
- Small changes in condition can be readily detected by the comparison between periodic and baseline data.
- Allows for testing of high temperature or difficult to access pipelines.
- Find defect initiation and growth in geometric features such as welds, supports, and attachments.
