Guided wave inspection for pipeline integrity
// Why It Matters
Accessing buried pipelines shouldn’t cost a fortune
- Traditional inspections require costly excavation and downtime.
- Manual checks often miss early signs of corrosion.
- Hidden damage can cause catastrophic failures.
- Delayed assessments mean higher risks and costs.
Pipeline integrity in buried, subsea, or remote environments demands a smarter approach. TECNA ICE addresses these challenges by using guided wave inspection to detect internal defects before they escalate—without dismantling or disturbing operations.
This advanced non-invasive technique provides high-precision assessment of buried or hard-to-reach pipelines, minimizing risk and maximizing operational uptime.
// Our Service
Advanced Guided Wave Inspection
Using the Eddify FOCUS+, our team can:
- Detect corrosion, cracks, and wall loss from a single access point.
- Inspect pipelines buried, submerged, or embedded in structures.
- Perform real-time, non-contact testing with no excavation.
- Cover 100% of the pipeline’s circumference using torsional waves and Kevlar-carbon rings.
- Provide digital records and analysis for preventive action.

The frequency of inspection depends on the type of pipe, operating conditions and applicable regulations. Generally, it is recommended:
- Transportation pipelines (gas and oil): Every 3 to 5 years, according to API 570.
- Piping in process plants: According to the risk-based maintenance program (RBI – API 580 and API 581).
- Critical or high-risk infrastructure: Every 1 to 3 years, depending on the level of corrosion and criticality of the asset.
Yes, provided conditions are stable. Guided waves can be applied on pipelines in service without stopping the operation.
Yes, like any Non Destructive Testing (NDT) equipment, the Eddify FOCUS+ must be calibrated periodically to ensure the accuracy of the measurements and the reliability of the data obtained.
This equipment incorporates Multi-Mode™ technology and torque modules, allowing for greater sensitivity in flaw detection and more accurate assessment of structural integrity in hard-to-reach pipelines.
The Eddify FOCUS+ is compatible with pipes from 4 “to 20” in diameter, allowing it to adapt to a variety of industrial applications.
