Home / Products / The Falcon™ UT Casing Probe

The Falcon™ UT Casing Probe turns a blind spot into a monitored asset.

Cased crossings — road, rail, and river crossings — hide the carrier pipe inside a steel casing. Trapped moisture and shorted casings can defeat cathodic protection at exactly the point where inspection is hardest to do. The Falcon monitors what's happening inside the casing without excavating.

Casing crossings, without the excavation.

A shorted or flooded casing can mask a failing carrier pipe from the rest of a CP program for years, because the casing itself is rarely instrumented. The Falcon installs at the crossing and reports on conditions inside the annular space continuously.

  • Purpose-built ultrasonic monitoring for cased pipeline crossings
  • Detects trapped moisture and electrolyte inside the annular space
  • Non-invasive install — no excavation of the crossing required
  • Validate effectiveness of casing mitigation (wax or vapor inhibitor)

Casing repair — this is the condition the Falcon is built to monitor for, before it gets this far.

Real Field Condition

The failure mode, up close.

This is what a compromised casing crossing actually looks like once it's excavated — trapped moisture, a coupling under strain, a repair that could have been flagged months earlier.

The Falcon's whole job is making sure a crew never has to find out this way.

Purpose-built for the geometry of a cased crossing.

The Falcon is sized and mounted specifically for the confined, hard-to-access space inside a casing.

Casing-specific probe

Sized and mounted for the confined annular space between the carrier pipe and casing.

Moisture detection

Identifies trapped water and electrolyte accumulation before it drives internal corrosion at the crossing.

Short detection

Flags electrical shorts between the carrier pipe and casing that can defeat cathodic protection.
