One of MEFS’s key areas of focus is geometric inspection. This service requires the use of a comprehensive range of caliper tools, known as GeoPAT, which are developed, manufactured, and deployed by MEFS. These state-of-the-art tools offer the highest levels of sensitivity, resolution, and accuracy. Their robust construction ensures reliability even under the most challenging operating conditions. Available tool technologies include single-channel and multi-channel systems, as well as IMU systems for determining the pipeline’s orientation. GeoPAT tools are available in sizes ranging from 4″ to 56″.

With their unique design, dual-diameter pigs can handle pipe configurations with different diameters.

MEFS uses an especially developed state-of-the-art software for the evaluation of the measurement data, which enables a comprehensive and high-resolution 3D presentation of the recorded data.

For the concise determination of the position of an inspection tool, the MEFS GeoPAT Tool is equipped with an IMU system as well as with a powerful transmitter. Together with the corresponding marker system the relevant pig position with XYZ coordinates and run times will be recorded and determined.

Using the position data recorded by the tool, the GPS positions of girth welds, bends, valve stations, defects, etc. can be determined accurately. These coordinates can be supplied in different standards, such as GIS, WGS84, UTM and others.

The pig location in the following examples took place at different points along the pipeline. These coordinates were listed in a Final Report as well as recorded in a map.

It is possible to work with these coordinates in other systems e.g. Google Earth – refer to example.

MEFS has built a considerable reputation in this market based on quality, reliability, flexibility and the competitive prices.

MEFS also offers project management resources for pipeline projects. These include cleaning, inspection, as well as turnkey projects. Staff members of MEFS have extensive know-how and experience in the field of pipeline inspection and maintenance as well as rehabilitation projects. 

Furthermore MEFS has a global network of cooperating partners complementing the scope of products and services offered.
