Image Inspection Services Ltd

Image Inspection Services manufactures remote television cameras for inspecting underground sewers and pipelines. The camera is a self contained unit which is drawn through the pipe, and using it's own light source, transmits a picture of the inside conditions of the pipe to the operator. The inspection results are video recorded for a permanent record. Defects along with their corresponding distance measurement are noted on the recording as well as in a computer generated log report. Radio location from above ground exactly locates the camera position to minimize digging. Various robotocs are employed to transport the camera through a variety of pipe diameters ranging from less than 1" in diameter to over 48" in diameter. The camera is typically drawn from manhole to manhole either by a winch or a pressure flushing machine. A remote crawler is available for conveying the camera when access is restricted to one end. The camera can be used for inspecting pipe diameters from 3" through 48" in diameter with a maximum cable length of 2500". Similarly, the video camera can be lowered into wells and boreholes.
