More Data. More Often.
Smart sensors in simple tools, for pipelines 2 inch and above.
About us
i2i is a sensor technology company that is simplifying pipeline inspection by integrating a range of smart sensors with simple pig design for the low risk, low cost, inspection and in-line monitoring of pipelines.
i2i’s range of Pioneer™ and SmartFoam™ pigs are designed to operate in all mediums and complex geometry pipelines, collecting inspection data on pipeline integrity without disrupting operations.
All the inspection tools are easy to deploy and maintain and can be mobilized with or without a technician. Inspection tools can remain onsite and be run daily or weekly if required by local teams, with data being sent back to i2i for analysis and reporting.
i2i can inspect any part of a pipeline network from 3 inch and above, providing great value solutions to pipeline operators who do not want the disruption or high cost of conventional in-line inspection.
01
No special facilities
If you can run cleaning tools, you can run i2i inspection tools. Every size has a pig valve design.
02
Passes what others can’t
1.5D bends as standard and 25–50% ID restrictions, including subsea multi-diameter tees.
03
Low risk by design
Lightweight, simple bodies with no metallic components touching the pipe wall — and no liner damage.
04
Multiple sensor packages
MFD, UT, eddy current, caliper, IMU and odometer combine on one tool body.
05
Runs at real velocities
0.1 m/s to 7 m/s on rechargeable battery packs, maintainable in remote locations.
06
Self-serve capable
Tools can stay onsite and be run frequently by your own crews — monitoring, not one-off campaigns.

Applications
Deployed across the whole network.
Oil, gas and water. Gathering lines to 60 inch city mains, deepwater risers to refinery heat exchanger tubes — including pipelines that have never been inspected.
Gathering pipelines
Small diameter lines from 2 inch up, launched and recovered through pig valves.
PIONEER · PIGVALVE
Oil and Gas Pipelines
Export lines, flexible pipelines and risers. Launch and receive from short turret facilities.
EC SMARTFOAM · UT SMARTFOAM
City networks, water and force main
Water and force mains to 60 inch — ductile iron, cement lined and non-metallic. No confined space entry.
EC SMARTFOAM · CALIPER
Fibreglass and HDPE pipe
Fibreglass and HDPE, passing the ID reductions at interconnectors. Kinks, dents, disbondment, material loss.
PIONEER · CALIPER
Refinery pipework and heat exchangers
Small bore lines, furnace and heat exchanger tubes. 1D bends, minimal disruption to the unit.
UT PULSE
Illegal tap and leak detection
Tools that stay onsite and run frequently, reporting leaks and taps quickly instead of at the next campaign.
EC SMARTFOAM
Tank farm and dead lines
No flow, no conventional access, many never inspected. Driven by air or nitrogen at low pressure.
EC SMARTFOAM · PIONEER
Cement and HDPE lined pipe
No metallic components touch the pipe wall, so liners are not damaged. Sensors read through the lining.

Global coverage
We have inspected pipelines all over the world.
Offices in Manchester, Krakow and Switzerland, with tools and local crews across six continents — from Canadian gathering systems to deepwater West Africa.
