At Novapipe-Solutions, we bring over 25 years of applied engineering expertise in the onshore and offshore oil & gas industry, with a strong focus on pipeline integrity management and flow assurance. Building from extensive field operations, our capabilities have evolved into providing fully engineered pigging systems and managed service solutions designed to maximize throughput, minimize downtime, and extend asset life cycle.
Our product portfolio covers a wide range of pigging technologies, including mandrel-bodied pigs, foam pigs, bi-directional pigs, and intelligent inspection tools (ILI), each designed and manufactured to meet API, ISO, and ASME standards. Every unit undergoes stringent non-destructive testing (NDT), hydrostatic validation, and material certification to ensure reliability under critical operating conditions.
Novapipe-Solutions also specializes in custom-engineered pigs tailored for multi-diameter lines, high-pressure systems, subsea applications, and wax/debris removal programs. Our managed service framework integrates real-time pig tracking, electronic pig passage detection, and advanced data acquisition, enabling operators to optimize cleaning frequency, reduce pigging risks, and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.
By combining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling, finite element analysis (FEA), and field-proven design practices, we ensure each pigging solution delivers maximum sealing efficiency, controlled differential pressure, and operational safety. Through innovation, precision engineering, and a strong commitment to quality, Novatech-Solutions continues to be a trusted partner in safeguarding pipeline performance and integrity across the oil & gas value chain
