PipeWay Engineering is the only company of the South Hemisphere, of entirely national production, that manufactures and operates oil and gas ducts inspection tools - called pigs - that verify stresses, strains and ovalizations anomalies, contributing to prevent emptyings that can cause ecological accidents.
