Leveraging decades of experience in the Oil & Gas sector, TECMA provides technical support to Operators for the design of high-performance pigs with enhanced cleaning and scraping capabilities. Custom pigs can be equipped with magnets, brushes, discs, and tungsten studs, depending on the operational requirements. Pig dimensions are defined in close cooperation with the Operator, based on pipeline physical parameters such as nominal wall thickness, bend radii, and the presence of taps or T-connections. Component selection is tailored according to the type and quantity of debris present in the pipeline.

TECMA also offers:

  • Design and manufacture of pigs for pipeline displacement operations
  • Supply of rescue pigs specifically developed for the recovery of pigs stuck in the line
  • Hydraulic simulation studies using dedicated electronic instrumentation
  • Joint technical studies with Operators to assess piggability and define modifications required to make pipelines fully piggable
  • Simulation of inspection tool passage using special dummy pigs
  • Use of pigs equipped with multiple aluminum discs to determine the minimum internal diameter of the pipeline
  • Engineering design of pigs capable of negotiating dual-diameter pipelines with bend radii down to 1.5 times the nominal diameter
