Specialised Services

Contract Resources is able to provide several different technologies for pipeline cleaning. With a combination of internal and external technologies, the team is able to clean and inspect all of the current pipelines.

We offer a wide range of pipeline services with removal of extremely hard or large volume deposits using our In Pipe Vehicle (IPV) technology, removal of scale and coke build-ups with DDT pigs, and removal of wax and product with general pig operations.

One pass cleaning efficiency with the IPV System

The patented IPV system is a result of many years spent on research and development and its uses continually expand across a variety of areas and applications. Our team of innovative engineers can design and deliver specialised cutters and accessories for a multitude of applications. These include cutters incorporating rock drilling technologies to break down very hard deposits and Bead Cutters for removing weld beads in Polyethylene Pipe systems. All waste material is removed at the cutter face, resulting in true one-pass efficiency.

Removal of coke, scale and hard pipeline deposits

The DDT Pigging system is the most advanced cleaning method available for decoking fired heaters and removing hard pipeline deposits that cannot be removed by conventional means. It is designed to accommodate interchangeable cleaning appendages and studs and its patented design allows it to traverse U-bends and short-radius elbows. The DDT process is bi-directional, allowing the cleaning pig to traverse the heater tubes or pipeline in both directions.
