SewerVUE Technology Corp. has released a robot-mounted, in-pipe inspection system that incorporates CCTV with ground-penetrating radar (GPR). The SewerVUE Surveyor system accurately measures pipe wall thickness, pipe wall composition defects and rebar cover, while also locating cracks in the pipe wall and detecting voids and cavities outside pipelines, enabling prevention of potentially catastrophic sinkholes.Primary applications include mapping sewers, water mains and tunnels for regular inspection, quality control and preventative maintenance. “SewerVUE can also be used for testing the condition and thickness of liners, or for installation or quality control of concrete or vitrified clay pipes,” says company president Csaba Ékes.
