Pipeline Pigs for Periodic Pipeline Maintenance

HORIZON Industrial has been awarded a purchase order to supply a large quantity of ‘Superswab' Lightweight Foam Pipeline Pigs in various sizes for periodic maintenance of pipelines at a mining site.

The Pipeline Pigs will be used to clean HDPE Pipelines throughout the plant to remove scale deposits and debris which form over time as part of the production process employed by the end user. The pigs are manufactured in various diameters from 2lbs/cu.ft. high-strength open-cell polyurethane foam and feature a machine-applied polyurethane coating on the rear to prevent by-pass and assist propulsion. 

The Pigs were packaged to prevent ingress of moisture and shipped on dedicated transport directly to the minesite.

‘Superswabs’ produced by HORIZON Industrial are also commonly used throughout the pipeline construction industry for dewatering and drying gas pipelines, for “proving” pipelines and for water & wastewater pipeline cleaning projects.

Pipeline Pigging is an effective means of cleaning and clearing the internal bore of pipelines to prevent the build-up of scale deposits and debris which can hinder the performance of pumps and compressors as a consequence of a reducedvolume of product conveyed through the line

HORIZON Industrial Pty Ltd has over 35 years of experience in the design and supply of Pipeline Pigs, Pigging Equipment and the provision of Pigging Services throughout Australia and New Zealand.
