AMPL is an Automatic Multiple Pig Launching System that allows a series of pigs to be launched into a pipeline from a pig launcher at operator controlled intervals, while minimizing the number of times a pig trap door has to be opened to access a pipeline for pigging.
This process enables AMPL to provide significant cost savings for pipeline pigging operations, as well as providing health, safety and environmental benefits.
Typically the AMPL automatic multiple pig launching system is ideal for use on:
Dependent on size and weight, pigs may require automated or mechanical systems to allow them to be positioned in a pig launcher or removed from a pig receiver.
With our expertise in fabrication we are able to produce pig trolleys and cranes to specific client requirements. Our pig trolleys range from basic trays to assist manual pig handling of small diameter pigging tools through to fully adjustable trays with manual or pneumatic/hydraulic winches for larger diameter pigging tools.
These pig trolleys and cranes help reduce risk and ensure damage free handling of both utility pigging tools and high value inspection pigs.

Pipeline Engineering is known worldwide for the quality and performance characteristics of its pipeline pigging tools. This reputation has been established over many years of manufacturing and supplying pipeline pigs to operators and contractors in the oil, gas and process industries.
Pipeline Engineering manufactures a full range of utility pigs including:
Our pigging tools are used by operators through the entire operational life cycle of a pipeline, from the initial pre-commissioning stage, which includes pipeline cleaning, pressure testing and gauging, to de-commissioning at the end of a pipelines operational life.
Pipeline Engineering fabricates Barred Tees and Sphere Tees used in a pig launcher / receiver systems and / or at branches in the pipeline to ensure the safe passage of a pig or sphere past the open branch area.
Piggable barred tees incorporate simple bar sections welded across the pipeline tee branch to allow a pig to negotiate the branch opening. Piggable tees are manufactured to specific customer project specifications and International pressure vessel and piping codes such as ASME, PD5500. Our capacity ranges from 2" to 54", ANSI Ratings 150 to 2500 and API, using carbon, stainless and alloy steel materials.
Pig launchers and pig receivers are installed on pipelines to launch and receive pipeline pigs, pipeline spheres and pipeline inspection tools. Pig launchers & pig receivers offer a safe and effective means of inserting and removing pipeline pigs to and from pipelines. Pipeline Engineering fabricates pig launchers and pig receivers to meet the specific requirements of a pipeline.
The pig launchers and pig receivers we fabricate range from simple barrel pig launchers and receivers through to complete skid mounted units with associated equipment including actuated valves, quick opening closures, instrumentation, pig signallers and control systems.
The pig launchers and receivers we fabricate are suitable for onshore, offshore and subsea pipelines. All units are designed and fabricated to relevant required pipeline and vessel design codes including:
We fabricate pig launchers and pig receivers from 2" to 60" designed with operating pressures up to 400 bar. Pig launchers and pig receivers are produced in a range of materials, from low strength carbon steel, to high strength carbon steel, and where specified, stainless steel, duplex stainless steel and carbon steel internally clad with corrosion resistant inconel materials.
Pig signallers are used to provide confirmation of the movement of pipeline pigs through a pipeline. They are normally positioned at both the pig launching and pig receiving stations and at key points along a pipeline.
Designed for ease of operation, these pig signallers are easy to install and maintain and can be removed under pressure when fitted with an isolation valve and when used with a Pipeline Engineering Removal Tool.
