WIThOuT hAvING TO ExCAvATEThe Sniffers provides a localisation and digitalisation program to clearly determine the position and depth of underground pipelines and cables without having to excavate. This means saving costs.

GISGPS measurements enable the easy import and digitalisation of the structure at a very limited additional cost in any Geographic Information System (GIS) or CAD drawing.

uP-TO-DATEWhere plans only represent the position of your underground infrastructure as it was in the past. Our measurement method delivers the latest information to keep your infrastructure database up-to-date. This is very important in our fast-changing environment.

ThIrD PArTY INTErfErENCE CONTrOLKnowing the exact current location of the underground structures is a very crucial item for an optimal third party interference control.

DEPTh Of COvErOur localisation and digitalisation program enables us to determine the depth of underground pipelines & cables. We evaluate them according to the (legal) standards without having to excavate. Insufficient depth is more likely to cause accidents, especially with low cover ditches and canals that are being cleaned every year.

mINImISE rISkSOur goal is to create an incident-free environment for the safety of third parties and your personnel. Not knowing about the presence of underground structures or having the incorrect position of the pipeline location is most likely to cause false interpretations which may lead to off-target investments and in the worst case scenario pipeline disasters.

quICk rESPONSE AND rEPOrTOur specific localisation method makes it possible to respond directly to potential problems when needed and to report promptly with geographical and accurate information.

hIGhLY ADvANCED SOfTWArEWe can proudly announce that the software tool “PERSEUS”, we developed ourselves, is our secret weapon. A flexible application to collect, analyse and report your pipeline data. As such we clearly map your complete pipeline infrastructure. With our management module we allow you to filter & visualise the valuable data.

Our measurement devices are calibrated correctly according to the quality management system ISO 9001 procedures, meaning yearly supplier calibrations and daily calibration checks. All our personnel are VCA-certified. As an independent party we aim to satisfy our clients through the reliable delivery of consistent services with the latest proven techniques.

COMPLETE CAThOdIC PROTECTION PROGRAMFor the optimal maintenance of your pipeline infrastructure and in order to avoid corrosion, or even worse leakages, cathodic protection is indispensable. The Sniffers offers a complete control and optimisation program. We visualise and outline the critical points in your cathodic protection system. In consultation with the client The Sniffers determines the installation of the most optimal cathodic protection system: a sacrificial anode or an impressed current system. By preventing corrosion, you save costs.

vARIOuS SuRvEY TEChNIquESTo evaluate your cathodic protection system, The Sniffers can carry out several different techniques, depending on your specific request and situation: on-potential survey, close interval potential (CIP) survey and ON/OFF potential data logging (f.e. 24h measurements). A cathodic protection survey can be perfectly combined with our other inspection services and is especially interesting when combined with a coating survey. Our non-destructive coating surveys can ensure that the coating remains adequate everywhere and at all times.

vARIOuS fAuLT dETECTION TEChNIquESThe Sniffers can perform several different techniques, depending on your specific request and situation: direct current voltage gradient (DCVG) survey, Pearson survey, impressed current measurements and pipeline current mapping (PCM).

ExTENd YOuR PIPELINE’S LIfECathodic protection and coating surveys are crucial to secure the quality and continuity of your pipeline infrastructure. Coating and cathodic protection are 2 complementary protection systems allowing you to extend the life of your pipelines. Experience has taught us that a good management of these protection systems and their influencing environment will help you go beyond the expected lifespan of the pipelines, allowing you to postpone large investments.

MINIMISE RISkSOur goal is to create an incident-free environment for the safety of third parties and your personnel. Tackling coating defects at an early stage and managing your cathodic protection system means preventing corrosion. Preventing corrosion means minimising the risk of pipeline incidents and leakages and increasing the safety of interfering parties and personnel on your network.

quICk RESPONSE ANd REPORTWe analyse your cathodic protection data that is often very complex and give you the advice you need. On the other hand we are also able to visualise your cathodic protection levels in a detailed management report. Our specific coating inspection methods make it possible to respond quickly to potential problems and to report promptly. Our reporting includes a top down overview of coating defects giving you the opportunity to prioritise your actions.

hIGhLY AdvANCEd SOfTwAREWe can proudly announce that the software tool “PERSEUS”, we developed ourselves, is our secret weapon.
