Pipeline Current Mapping (PCM)
Pipeline Current Mapping (PCM) is a relatively new technology for locating faults and poor coating that drains CP currents, resulting in pipelines not adequately protected by its CP system.
The PCM advantage over traditional DCVG surveys is mainly due to its ability to conduct surveys for pipelines buried under concrete and road surfaces. It accurately detects the location of faults when conducted by highly trained operators. The PCM machine also comes with an A-frame, which can be used to perform CIPS surveys.
• Detect exact location of buried pipelines
• Detection of Coating Defect location
• Most acceptable method for pipelines buried under tarmac and concrete
• Above ground survey
