Hi steve,

I will suggest two things first to be done before considering pigging that 10"steel line with 3/8" w.t. Please try and get the old piping drawings and find out whether:
1. the steel pipeline system is a piggable one. 2. the type and spec. of valves on the line.

The moment you confirm that the line is a piggable one, you just run an intelligent pig through it and that will gather a lot of information on the current state of the line, especially the depleted wall thickness all through.

Finally, with this result you will then be in a safer position with the contractor to pig the entire line(usally the direction of flow is preferred).

Also, make sure you have settled with the EPA GUYS to avoid litigation.

CHEERS and best of luck,

Engr. Adolphus Omodu
