FIBERSCOPE TRACER X20 Floating Pipe Inspection Robot
Flooded and surcharged lines often force municipalities into costly choices: bypass pumping, postponed inspections or incomplete data. TRACER X20 is built for the jobs conventional wheeled crawlers cannot handle. This self-propelled floating inspection robot is designed for large sewer, stormwater, siphon and culvert pipelines where water, silt, flow or poor traction make standard CCTV inspection impractical. The system operates in pipes 24 inches and larger, allowing crews to inspect active or partially flooded lines. It is ideal for long-distance deployments up to 6,700 feet. Its floating, self-propelled design supports long-distance surveys, while high-definition visual inspection can be combined with sonar and laser profiling to document defects above the waterline and sediment or shape changes below it. For utilities and contractors responsible for large-diameter infrastructure, TRACER X20 turns difficult flooded inspections into planned, data-rich maintenance work, reducing disruption while improving asset knowledge, budgeting, cleaning priorities and rehabilitation planning with less setup and fewer site delays. 877-613-2210; www.fiberscope.net/tracer-x20-floating-pipe-inspection-robot/
Harben E180 trailer jetter - PR SPONSOR
When choosing a jetter, plan for decades — not just years. The E180 trailer jetter is Harben’s best-selling single‑axle unit; built to last and engineered to deliver consistent power on jobs ranging from 2- to 18-inch lines. Whether it’s roots, grease, routine cleanouts or municipal maintenance, the E180’s radial piston pump is a force designed to break through all blockages. Fewer wear parts, run‑dry capability and smoother operation equal less downtime. With fewer rebuilds (lower total cost of ownership over the life of the machine), the E180 can be customized with hot water and other options, including a wireless remote that keeps the operator at the access point and the jetter outside. Harben backs the pump with a five‑year warranty, ultimately reinforcing the reliability pros count on. Built to last. Built to perform. Built by Harben. 770-889-9535; www.harben.com
Prime Resins Soakum Oakum Kits
Soakum Oakum Kits from Prime Resins have everything you need for stopping active water leaks in underground structures. Gushers, weepers and hairline leaks are no match for this kit. Crew chiefs responsible for keeping things watertight will understand the value of having a bucket in every truck. The kit includes a 10-foot stand of oakum, 48 ounces of water-activated resin, eight pairs of vinyl gloves, two insertion sticks and one 2-gallon bucket with lid. No long process keeps the instructions simple. Start by soaking the desired amount of oakum in the resin, then use the insertion stick to place the material into large or small defects. Hold the material for less than 60 seconds and it will turn white, expand and shut down the leak in less than two minutes. 800-321-7212; www.primeresins.com
Vactor JetRight Technology
Vactor launched its new JetRight Technology — a pressure management system that enables operators to set a target pressure the unit will not exceed regardless of throttle settings. JetRight Technology is especially handy in cases where pressure should be limited when jetting, like sewer lines in disrepair. It also helps when hydroexcavating and needing to maintain a certain pressure near a utility. Available on Vactor’s 2100i truck, JetRight Technology allows operators to pull more vacuum for demanding jobs while still maintaining consistent water pressure, protecting infrastructure and reducing the risk of hydraulic overheating from water going over reliefs. The intuitive, user-friendly controls align with Vactor’s IntuiTouch control panel that combine cleaning system functions into one control panel. The water pump is controlled hydraulically and features Vactor’s Multi-Flow System enabling adjustments of water flow and pressure on demand. 815-672-3171; www.vactor.com
Flir Si2a PD acoustic imaging camera
Flir, a Teledyne Technologies brand, launched the Flir Si2a PD, a fixed-mount acoustic imaging camera designed to deliver continuous, always-on monitoring of partial discharge in medium- to high-voltage utility and industrial environments. The Si2a PD is designed to support proactive maintenance strategies by providing uninterrupted monitoring of electrical anomalies, including partial discharge, corona and arcing, and ensuring that no critical event goes undetected, even during peak load conditions or outside scheduled inspections. By capturing intermittent and transient events that traditional inspections often miss, the Si2a PD helps utilities detect faults earlier and take action before they lead to failures or outages. Integrated with the Flir AssetLink ecosystem, the system supports data recording, event tracking and seamless integration into digital maintenance workflows, helping teams move from periodic inspections to continuous condition monitoring. 866-477-3687; www.flir.com
Raedlinger Primus Line 24-inch liner
Raedlinger Primus Line is expanding its portfolio with a new liner that is NSF-61 compliant with a pressure rating of up to 150 psi, covering pipe rehabilitation for host pipe sizes ranging from 6 inches to 24 inches. Beyond potable water pipelines, the Primus Line system is also ideal for sewer force mains, raw water pipelines and other pressure pipe applications. Like all Primus Liners, this new liner system offers a design life of 50 years. It consists of three distinct layers: a seamlessly woven, Kevlar-reinforced layer to accommodate the operating pressure; a PE inner coating to seal the liner against the transported fluids; and a PE outer coating to protect the fabric reinforcement. The system connectors are based on the existing R1 connector design, forming a durable, leak-free connection between the flexible liner and the system connector. Standard connectors come with 24-inch ANSI 150-pound flanges. The system is designed, installed and operated as a loose-fit solution that can withstand the operating pressure independently of any host pipe support as referenced under ASTM F3708-25. This design does not require gluing or fixing to the host pipe, which significantly reduces construction costs and risks. 704-569-4460; www.primusline.com
