Coatings, cathodic protection, and proper bedding are essential to pipeline maintenance and protection, but they relate only to the external part of a pipeline system and ignore the inside. The interior of a pipeline is just as important from a maintenance standpoint and, for some types of lines, even more so. Pipeline systems are in need of regular pigging. Pigs and spheres can be run through almost any line of whatever size. Modern pipeline systems demand cleaning with pigs from the design stage through to project completion--and beyond. Building a pipeline today without careful consideration for on-stream pigging can be disastrous.
