If you are in Orlando Florida and it's your responsibility to care for the pipes owned by your company or municipal agency, there may come a time that your piping system, or a part of it, is found to be a mis-match from the written design. You might have the desire to track down the original designers and contractors and give them a piece of your mind, but what you know you have to do is track down the pipes.
Is it time to get out the shovels or even the backhoe? Maybe not! Enter "Sherlock Pig". I've covered Pipe Pigging in other articles, but in short it's a plug like device that fits inside the piping system and is able to pass through it. The tracking pig or "detector pig", in our case called "Sherlock", contains a transmitter that allows it's position to be monitored. It can be used to track mystery legs, identify valves and re-map the entire piping system. It can be used to confirm suspected blockages, find size disparities and leaks. Sherlock and it's related pigs, Watson and Little Piggy, can be used in just about any pipe, including underwater pipe and subterranean pipes, detecting their position and depth. Professional Piping Services, Inc. has the experience and knowledge to help with smart pig pipe mapping as well as pipe pigging for cleaning and maintenance.
