Frequently Asked Questions
What types of pipelines can be inspected with video cameras? Our specialized equipment can inspect virtually any pipeline system ranging from 2″ residential drain lines to 72″+ municipal storm and sewer mains. We also offer specialized inspection systems for vertical infrastructure such as manholes and lift station wet wells.
How accurate is the location information from video inspections? Our advanced systems incorporate precise distance counters and locator transmitters that allow us to pinpoint issues within inches of their actual location. This accuracy dramatically reduces excavation scope and associated costs for repairs.
Can video inspection identify all types of pipeline problems? Video inspection can identify a vast majority of common pipeline issues including breaks, cracks, root intrusion, grease buildup, improper connections, joint failures, and structural deformities. When combined with other diagnostic tools such as smoke testing or pressure testing, we can provide comprehensive assessment of nearly any pipeline condition.
How are the results delivered? All inspections include digital video recordings provided in standard formats accessible on any computer. Written reports include screenshots of identified issues with location information and professional recommendations. For municipal and commercial clients, we can provide data in standard NASSCO PACP format for integration with asset management systems.
Is video inspection only for problem diagnosis? No! Many clients incorporate regular video inspections into their preventative maintenance programs. Periodic inspections can identify developing issues before they become emergencies and provide valuable documentation for infrastructure planning.
