Introducing the

5th Generation SewerVUE Surveyor

A Tracked Multi-Sensor Platform for 21–60″ Pipes

SewerVue's Long range pipe inspection technology with CCTV, LiDar, SOnar, and our Pipe Penetrating Radar.

The 5th Generation Surveyor is a long-range tracked crawler built for harsh environments and high-flow pipes. PPR antennae rotate remotely between the 9 and 3 o'clock positions, so you collect four radar passes from a single deployment. The platform handles pipes from 21″ to 60″ (525–1525 mm) and deploys up to 6,000 ft of tether.

SewerVUE's patented pipe-penetrating radar operates concurrently with HD CCTV and LiDAR on a single deployment. Outputs include quantitative measurement of remaining wall thickness, composition defects, reinforcement cover, and external void location.

Surveyor Features

  • Pipe-Penetrating Radar. Wall thickness, rebar cover, and external void detection.
  • 3D LiDAR. Pipe geometry and deformation at millimetre-scale resolution.
  • HD CCTV. Visual inspection output, NASSCO PACP compliant.
  • Up to 6,000 ft of tether. Full long-run surveys completed in a single deployment.
  • Rotatable PPR antennae. Four radar passes per deployment at selectable clock positions between 9 and 3 o'clock.

How GPR & PPR Works

ppeexplained

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a real-time, non-destructive testing technique that employs electromagnetic (EM) waves to image pipes and man-made structures. A short pulse of EM waves is transmitted into the pipe, where targets with different dielectric properties reflect a portion of these waves. A receiver antenna captures the reflected signals, which are subsequently displayed on a computer screen. Data collection is continuous, allowing for the capture of several miles of data within a few hours.

Pipe Penetrating Radar (PPR) represents the in-pipe application of GPR, wherein EM waves are directed into the pipe bedding envelope through the pipe wall (constructed from materials like concrete, HDPE, vitrified clay, soil, etc.). High-frequency PPR can identify cracks, exterior voids, exterior repair couplings, alterations in material composition, as well as water content or salinity changes at distances of 36" (920mm) and beyond.
