Pipeline Integrity Services
Gathering accurate, timely data is key to ensuring your pipeline’s integrity. The safety and reliability of your line is critical to ensuring compliance, remaining efficient, and optimizing your asset’s lifespan. Dependable field support is crucial for ILI runs and pipeline integrity programs to deliver actionable insights to best manage your operations.
ILI Tool Tracking
Accurate ILI tool runs are essential for pipeline safety and reliability. Our experienced technicians and modern tracking ensure precise data, preventing errors that could escalate into significant damage.
Our Titan Online Pig Tracking is an in-house developed communication and tracking system. This system shows allows field technicians to update live tool passages on a shared web-based map. This gives ILI companies access to:
- Passages
- Tool ETAs
- Calculated tool speed
- Weld counts
- Run-specific notes as the inspection progresses
Our experienced management team has over 60 years of experience in pig tracking across four countries and terrains.
Our team’s experience and expertise allow us to support clients managing high-consequence runs, long-distance lines, and technically challenging conditions with confidence.
With DES ILI Pig Tracking services, your team will receive results that reduce uncertainty, protect assets, and keep ILI projects moving forward.
AGM Survey & Benchmarking
Accurate AGM positioning and benchmark data are critical to correlation quality, anomaly location accuracy, and overall confidence in ILI results. Diamond Edge Services provides clients with AGM survey and benchmarking services so you can precisely align data, locate anomalies, validate performance, and plan ahead.
We utilize Trimble survey equipment capable of sub-centimeter and sub-decimeter accuracy, resulting in precise AGM positioning and benchmark quality for modern ILI alignment.
Our technicians have a minimum of 3–4 years of dedicated field experience in the ILI field, with a strong understanding of pipeline right-of-way conditions, ILI workflows, and operator expectations
Our AGM survey and benchmarking services are routinely deployed on large-scale and complex inspection programs, including long-distance pipelines, multi-spread projects, and remote corridors. Diamond Edge Services offers quick turnaround times for survey and benchmarking reports.
AGM Rental & Remote Tracking
Cloud-based remote tracking extends visibility to off-site teams, giving real-time pig movement on runs that traverse difficult terrain, restricted access areas, and long-distance routes. This remote tracking approach provides timely insight and improves safety, reduces logistical burden, and provides real-time insight across projects spanning multiple states or remote regions.
The Patriot Above-Ground Marker (AGM) is a fully connected, modern pig‑tracking system designed for complex, time‑sensitive integrity runs. The multi-mode connectivity covers areas without traditional coverage, eliminating the need for manual data retrieval after a run.
Critical data is integrated to your PAT Track dashboard, so you can see:
- Live map-based tracking
- Real‑time signal graphs (magnetic, EM, 22 Hz, geophone)
- Automated passage notifications
- Historical data and run summaries
Our AGM rental and tracking services reduce logistical burden, enhance safety, and provide reliable situational awareness across even the most remote inspection runs. You access:
- Multi-Sensor Detection and Real-Time Data Capture
- Advanced Communications: Cellular, Satellite, Bluetooth
- Remote Tracking & PAT Track Dashboard
- Remote Live Data Streaming
- Standard D-cell alkaline batteries with 10+ days of operations
- Cloud-Based Data Retrieval & Reporting
Shallow Water Tracking & Survey
When traditional land survey methods are limited or ineffective, water-based survey offers a solution. Diamond Edge Services delivers specialized shallow‑water tracking and survey capabilities for rivers, wetlands, marshes, and near‑shore environments across the U.S. Gulf Coast and other water‑dominant regions.
Using purpose‑built equipment, proven field techniques, and experienced personnel, we safely locate and track ILI tools in challenging aquatic environments. This expertise allows us to support complex inspection programs throughout coastal and inland waterways while maintaining the highest standards of safety, accuracy, and environmental awareness.
Loading, Lifting & Tool Support
Diamond Edge Services provides full loading, lifting, and tool‑handling support to ensure ILI tools and related equipment are managed safely and efficiently throughout the entire project lifecycle. Our Operator Qualified crews support mobilization, demobilization, and active field operations for tools of all sizes.
With extensive experience on major ILI projects, we work closely with operators and vendors to coordinate safe handling procedures, minimize downtime, and protect high‑value inspection assets. Our disciplined approach and familiarity with complex field environments help maintain safe, efficient operations while keeping inspection schedules on track.
Tool Decontamination
When doing multiple deployments or managing a complex inspection schedule, it is critical to ensure ILI tools are safely cleaned and fully prepared before running.
Diamond Edge Services provides controlled, thorough decontamination services. Using 100% containment processes that meet operator and ILI vendor requirements, our team removes NORMs, debris, and other contaminants that can impact tool performance.
Proper decontamination ensures tools are ready for subsequent deployments without delays.
