Peripherally.?ÿ The pig gives you the distance/station where the anomaly is.?ÿ Based on that you snap a point at that station on the as-built CAD, and stake it out in the field with GPS.?ÿ If everything was done right, you should be there.

And if I have no as-built data, it appears as if my only option is to have the guys probe from the upstream and downstream AGM's and hope we don't miss a 'wiggle' in the line.?ÿ We are in the marsh in south Louisiana!?ÿ They just weld pipe up, and drop it in the swamp.?ÿ Thanks?ÿ so much for the reply!!

It's been awhile since I have performed this type of work and was curious to current methodologies.

@brett911fitz?ÿ

If you have no as-built data, what are you going on, the design??ÿ

I don't think I'd take a job to find the anomalies, then.?ÿ I'd state that I can stake out a location on the ground based on the stationing they provide overlaid on the design plan or CAD they provide - with no guarantees that it's where they want it to be.?ÿ Other than that, good luck

@brett911fitz?ÿ

Do you have a locator you can hook up to the test leads?
