Water transport pipelines in the mining industry face significant corrosion challenges due to extreme environmental conditions, such as arid climates, temperature fluctuations, and abrasive soils. This study evaluates the effectiveness of three advanced inspection technologies-Guided Wave Ultrasonic Testing (GWUT), Metal Magnetic Memory (MMM), and In-Line Inspection (ILI)-in maintaining pipeline integrity under such conditions. A structured methodology combining diagnostic assessment, technology research, and comparative evaluation was applied, using key performance indicators like detection capability, operational impact, and feasibility. The results show that GWUT effectively identifies surface anomalies and wall thinning over long pipeline sections but faces depth and diameter limitations. MMM excels at detecting early-stage stress and corrosion in inaccessible locations, benefiting from minimal preparation and strong market availability. ILI provides comprehensive internal and external assessments but requires piggable pipelines and operational adjustments, limiting its use in certain systems. A case study of critical aqueducts of mining site water supply illustrates real-world technology selection challenges. The findings underscore the importance of an integrated inspection approach, leveraging the complementary strengths of these technologies to ensure reliable pipeline integrity management. Future research should focus on quantitative performance metrics and cost-effectiveness analyses to optimize inspection strategies for mining infrastructure.
