CCTV technology
By Octopus Electronics
In today’s pipeline industry, investigation making use of CCTV
(closed circuit television) inspection camera technology is
essential, not only saving time but also being able to pinpoint
exactly where to focus the maintenance or other work.
Using this technology, you can determine many
different problems, such as whether there may be
more than one blockage, how far along the blockage
is, if the pipeline is damaged, has any foreign object
jammed in it, or has it collapsed.
By removing the guesswork from the job, you can establish
the optimal rehabilitation method for longer-lasting results.
Applications including sewer, stormwater, potable water,
and industrial pipelines.
Using CCTV pipeline inspection technology, the following
problems are commonly assessed:
• Whether the pipeline is damaged or squashed, has
collapsed, and so on.
• Whether roots have grown into the pipeline and
formed a large fibrous mass.
• Whether the pipeline is misaligned.
• If foreign objects are lodged in the pipeline.
• If the pipeline has sagged or bellied.
CCTV pipeline inspection technology gives you
a deeper understanding of the challenging
environments, by analysing the collective systems
under review, working out the precise problem, and
then ensuring that the correct repair method is
actioned every time.
