Pre-commissioning Pig (pipeline inspection gauge)

After installation the Nord Stream Pipeline will undergo a series of tests to prepare the pipeline for commercial operation. The pipeline will be flooded, cleaned, gauged, pressure tested, dewatered and dried before gas is introduced. Cleaning and gauging pigs will be launched through the pipeline to check it for irregularities.
The photo was taken on the premises of Pipeline Engineering in Richmond, North Yorkshire, UK, during pig testing Where required, the products are tested to ensure maximum effectiveness.
