• About

    SewerVUE's in-pipe GPR is a revolutionary patent-pending technology for underground pipe inspection. The remotely operated Surveyor robot merges CCTV data with ground penetrating radar (GPR) measurements to accurately identify pipe wall thickness, composition defects, rebar cover, locate cracks, voids and cavities outside underground non-metallic pipes. The GPR equipment is track mounted and equipped with two high frequency antennae, which can be can be remotely rotated to any clocking angle between 9 and 3 o’clock positions. The Surveyor can be adjusted for any pipe diameters of 18 - 30 inch (450 - 750mm).

    SewerVUE's proprietary software analyzes the GPR data and provides easy to understand imagery of all identified elements. In-pipe GPR enables pro-active preventative maintenance planning with thorough assessments of critical infrastructure.

  • Why GPR is Superior

    Current inspection technologies are unable to “see through” concrete pipes because competitors use inferior technology such as CCTV or laser and sonar to inspect large diameter pipes. CCTV, the oldest and least expensive inspection tool can only provide visual information. Laser and sonar provide geometric data that can indirectly indicate pipe corrosion or loss – laser and sonar can not actually “see” through the pipe wall and can not measure actual pipe wall thickness, rebar cover or locate voids outside the pipe or give useful information about the quality of the pipe material.

  • No more sinkholes

    The primary applications include mapping sewers, water mains and tunnels for regular inspection, quality control and for 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. Regular SewerVUE inspections allow the location of voids caused by damaged pipes before they develop into sinkholes.
