Finding a blockage shouldn’t feel like a wild goose chase
To every crew that’s spent hours — or days — digging in the wrong place, and every operator forced to rely on gut instinct or incomplete data: we feel your pain. You deserve precision, not guesswork. PipeScan pinpoints blockages, stuck pigs and obstructions so that you can act fast, restore flow and get on with the good stuff. Like actually going duck hunting.

Nonsense (n.)
A never-ending game of whack-a-mole in which you burn major time and budget on X-rays and excavations, only to end up empty-handed and back at the drawing board. Again.
Wasting time and money on unnecessary digs
Relying on slow, outdated tracking methods
Struggling to locate pigs in buried pipelines
Sacrificing profitability because of slower flow rates and prolonged downtime
Common Sense (n.)
A landscape where reason and rationale reign supreme, and operators can strategically invest their time and resources by knowing exactly where blockages occur.
Locating obstructions with high-speed pressure pulses
Deploying in minutes with a fully portable system
Locating stuck pigs in short order — no digging necessary
Restoring flow faster and eliminating unnecessary downtime

When everything’s on the line, there’s no time for shots in the dark
It just works.
Here’s how
PipeScan uses pressure pulse technology to send controlled signals through the pipeline. Two portable field processing units (FPUs) on either side of the suspected blockage measure the time delay and reflection of the signal, pinpointing the exact location—no excavation, no X-rays, just instant clarity.
We see it for what it is: A blockage, not a needle in a haystack
Precision without the wait
Understand exactly where the problem is — and how to fix it — before the first shovel even hits the dirt.
| High-Speed Data Sampling | Portable Setup | Rapid Results | Proven at Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Captures signals at 1kHz resolution for unmatched accuracy | Two FPUs, each powered by a generator, deploy in minutes | Get a provisional location within hours | Successfully deployed across distances up to 60 miles |
Deployment made simple
Cutting-edge, hands-off technology, backed by a team who deeply cares. That’s the best of both worlds.
Getting started
Simply give us a call, send over our specs, and we’ll have our team on the way to set up FPUs that meets your timeline
— so you can have granular blockage insight within hours of using PipeScan.
Working with Charps
We’re proud to be part of the Charps family. When unparalleled contracting expertise meets best-in-class technology, the results speak for themselves.
Dig deeper into data-powered pipeline integrity
We’re reimagining more areas of pipeline integrity than obstruction location. Learn how applying the world’s most advanced technology to pipeline maintenance changes the game. For you. For your community. For your bottom line. The list goes on and on.
Guesswork is so 2007
Lean into technology that does the work for you. Because managing and running a pipeline is hard enough without having to troubleshoot blockages 24/7.
