Halfwave to Supply Inspection Tools for Nord Stream 2

Halfwave has been awarded a contract to design and build 48” Acoustic Resonance Technology (ART) Scan in-line inspection tools for Nord Stream 2.

The ART Scan tools will be used to inspect the 48” Nord Stream 2 twin gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea.

Halfwave’s custom-build ART Scan tools will be used to inspect the new pipelines during the pre-commissioning phase.

“This is one of the largest and most exciting contracts that we have been awarded, and we are pleased that Nord Stream 2 AG has recognized the added value the ART technology provides,” said Halfwave CEO Paul Cooper.

“After a very diligent technology evaluation process, it is very rewarding to be recognized by Nord Stream 2 AG as their leading technology provider and preferred supplier of pipeline inspection services,” Cooper added.

Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline will have an aggregate annual capacity of 55 billion cubic meters, and will be laid from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea.
