Inspección por Ondas guiadas de largo alcance | Evaluación precisa de tuberías con TECNA ICE
Maximum accuracy in integrity assessment to ensure the safety and durability of your assets.
Inspeccionar tuberías inaccesibles es costoso y complejo
- Costly and invasive traditional methods.
- Inaccurate manual inspections.
- Hidden corrosion can cause catastrophic failures.
- Without monitoring, assets degrade.
The inspection of pipelines in buried, subsea or difficult to access areas represents an operational and financial challenge. Traditional methods require excavation, dismantling or manual inspection, increasing costs and evaluation times.
In addition, the lack of preventive monitoring allows corrosion, cracks and delaminations to progress without early detection, which can lead to critical failures, leaks or significant economic losses.
Inspección avanzada con Ondas guiadas de largo alcance
We use the Eddify FOCUS+, a state-of-the-art guided wave equipment that allows us to inspect pipelines without the need for excavation or dismantling. This allows us to offer:
- Detection of corrosion and defects in inaccessible pipelines.
- Real-time monitoring for proactive maintenance.
- Non-contact inspection, reducing costs and time.
- Complete evaluation of pipelines around their entire circumference.
- Analysis with carbon-Kevlar rings and torsional modules, maximizing signal quality.

Resuelve tus dudas sobre la inspección por Ondas guiadas
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.
