Abstract
With today’s increasing operational cost, it is becoming increasing more important to use assets in the most cost effective ways. The maintenance of a pipeline and the prevention of pipeline failures due to corrosion and third party damage are increasingly difficult. The inspection industry has developed several generations of tools to combat these problems. The determination of which of these tools is the most cost effective for the pipeline industry is discussed here.
