Pipeline Pigging Services

Pipeline Pigging Services for Cleaning, Increased Flow, and Reduced Cost

Pipeline pigging is a method used to clean, inspect, and maintain pipelines by sending a device—called a “pig”—through the pipeline. Pigging removes buildup, debris, and blockages while improving flow efficiency and extending pipeline life.

Let's discuss your pipeline needs.

The Importance

Why Pipeline Pigging Is Critical

Without regular cleaning, buildup can severely impact your system. Pipeline pigging provides a controlled, efficient solution to restore optimal performance by addressing:
Left unchecked, these issues can reduce flow capacity, increase energy costs, create operational inefficiencies, and severely risk blockages or total system failure.

Why Choose Flowmore for Pipeline Pigging?

If your pipeline system is experiencing reduced performance, buildup, or requires preventative maintenance, Flowmore can help design and implement an effective pigging solution.

Part of a Larger Cleaning Strategy

Pigging is often one component of a broader pipeline maintenance plan. Beyond execution, Flowmore also provides holistic support:

You Ask, We Answer

Yes. Pipeline pigging scrapes build-up causing poor water quality off the pipe wall as it moves through the pipeline.

Frequency depends on the system, but many municipal and industrial pipelines benefit from scheduled pigging programs annually or as needed based on performance.

Yes, Pigging is superior because Pigging can do the following while flushing cannot.

  1. Pigging removes buildup by mechanically scraping it off the pipe wall.
  2. Pigging locates valves that are either partially closed, malfunctioning or not on the drawings.
  3. Pigging can discover operational issues with fire hydrants.
  4. Pigging flushes as it cleans, saving on water usage.

Water, wastewater, oil, gas, and many industrial pipelines can all be cleaned using pigging methods.

Yes. Pigs can be pushed through pipelines through fire hydrants with water pressure.
