Pipeline diagnostics

  • Investigator – pipeline condition assessment
  • Crawler Inspection System
  • Periscope 360

Orbis’ advanced asset condition assessment and leak detection technologies can accurately assess pipe corrosion, life expectancy and pinpoint the location of leaks and bursts. The data they provide can support future investment decisions and help prioritise pipeline maintenance.

Diagnostics systems offer the benefit of:

  • Internal inspection without disruption
  • Identifying areas of dangerous corrosion
  • Accurate leak detection
  • GPS tracking and plotting
  • Location of services, defects and restrictions
  • Valve assessment

LDS1000

LDS1000 is an advanced in-line inspection and leak detection system for long-distance, live potable water pipelines, up to 1,000m. The system is suitable for condition assessments, leak detection, mapping and locating.

Features a tri-sensor head, comprising:

  • Live-feed CCTV and high-resolution digital camera images
  • Real-time hydrophone for leak detection
  • Sonde for underground pipeline location and GPS tracking

The LDS1000 has the ability to inspect up to 1,000m (3,280’) in a single insertion. It operates in pressures up to 10 bar (150 psi) and accommodates pipe diameters of 300mm (4-12”) and above. System meets requirements for British Standard BS 6920 – Suitability of non-metallic products for use in contact with water intended for human consumption with regard to their effect on the quality of the water.

Investigator

Investigator is an advanced in-line inspection and leak detection system for live pipeline inspection up to 100m. The system is suitable for condition assessment, leak detection, mapping and locating.

Features a tri-sensor head, comprising:

  • Live-feed CCTV and high-resolution digital camera images
  • Real-time hydrophone for leak detection
  • Sonde for underground pipeline location and GPS tracking

The system can access pipelines through live fire hydrants and inspect lengths up to 100m (330’). Investigator operates in pressures up to 10 bar (150 psi) and accommodates pipe diameters of 100-300mm (4-12”). System meets BS 6920 requirements for non-metallic products in contact with water.

Crawler Inspection System

The Crawler Inspection System is able to perform detailed visual inspections of pipelines, using its 360-degree pan-and-rotate, forward and rear facing camera heads. It is suitable for non-pressurised pipes that are over 150mm wide and is capable of travelling up to 200m. With a steerable six-wheel drive, the system is robust, lightweight, durable and able to operate in harsh working conditions. The Crawler Inspection System has an extendable arm which allows the camera to be raised 120mm above its usual position. It provides high-resolution colour JPEG images and MPEG videos.

Key features

  • Suitable for pipes over 150mm diameter
  • Can travel up to 200m
  • Camera 360-degree pan-and-rotate
  • Provides colour JPEG images and MPEG videos
  • Extension arm lifts camera 120mm
Applications for Crawler Inspection System

  • New water mains inspection
  • Pipe-wall lining condition analysis
  • Evaluating joint conditions
  • Water main tracing
  • Water ingress

Periscope 360

The Periscope 360 is a waterproof, portable camera that can be used to inspect sewers and water pipelines. It is suitable for jobs where you only need visual pipeline data from the access point of the pipe. The camera can be used on any asset where full pipe bore hole access is viable.

Key features

  • 360-degree view of the pipe from the access point
  • Access pipe bore holes of 36mm and above
Applications for Periscope 360

  • Identify internal pipelining material
  • Provides accurate visuals of sediment levels
  • Creates visuals of flow
