Pipeline corrosion and integrity inspection without smart pigging?
(OP)
In my humble experience, smart pigging is usually the most popular way to check the integrity (wall thickness and internal corrosion) of the pipe. Are there other easier or most cost effective methods or technologies for this?
As much as possible, do it right the first time...

But for internal corrosion and wt determination smart pigging is the normal way.

Only as good as the day it is done but "proves" the integrity.
Can be done in product if you've got high confidence.

Pressure close to MOP is not really proving anything.
But we got no response from the OP so will never know.

The petrochemical world found that out the hard way after many failures of ERW pipe with pre-existing flaws.
Which is why I will never trust mill pressure testing alone when specifying welded pipe.
