Sherlock Pig

This is the first in a series about how some of my clients make money. I can't give the specifics about how much money they make, but that's okay.

One of the ways my client, Professional Piping Services, Inc. makes money is by helping their clients re-map their piping systems. Often, the actual layout of a piping system varies considerably from what was designed. Whether that's because of unforeseen obstacles to construction, or errors made by the initial builders, it can make maintenance and cleaning difficult.

If you're not familiar with Poly Pigs or Pipe Pigging, keep an eye on this blog as I'll discuss it in another post.

Enter Sherlock Pig, an electronic device embedded in a special poly pig, The device transmits signals while traversing a piping system

Sherlock Pig, the tracking device, can be used to track the location & depth of pipes that are not properly documented. The "as built" drawings turn out to be "as imagined".

The device can also help find "lost" valves and identify those that are malfunctioning while also confirming suspected blockages, identifying size disparities and the leaking this causes.

Like other poly pigs, it is suitable in multidimensional systems of all types and sizes and products. The inline velocity is controlled and requires only one entry port and an exit port. This allows miles of pipe to be inspected in a single run.

PPSI now provides a method to accurately locate underground and subaqueous piping systems.
