Advances in pipe repair have created tools to help repair crews do their jobs quickly and effectively. New repair technologies mean that pipe repair can be done without large-scale excavations that take weeks or months to complete. Trenchless no-dig pipe repair has taken over as the go-to method for fixing broken or leaking residential, commercial, and industrial pipe systems. Televising equipment has played a big role in making this possible. With televising equipment, repair technicians can view work being done remotely. It helps them stay above ground. It’s no longer always necessary to rip up roads, floors, and lawns. Pipe repair is done from above ground looking through a screen. Here’s a basic breakdown of some televising equipment and how it works.
High-Definition Televising
The prevalence of high-definition broadcasting equipment has made its way into pipe repair. Crews are no longer struggling to decipher fuzzy image quality. They get to see real conditions as they appear on the scene. Even in dark, damp, and hard-to-reach places, broadcast equipment means televising high definition is easy. Seeing in high definition means repair teams can spot and identify problems faster with more accuracy. It lowers the likelihood they’ll have to return because they missed something on their initial inspection.
Variety of Robotic Crawlers
Something has got to get inside the pipes and move around to make televising work. New technology has shrunk the size of robotic crawlers so they’re able to get into smaller, more complex pipe systems. It opens up trenchless pipe repair to more homes and businesses. They’re also easier to control because they are more responsive and easier to operate.
Documentation Software
Getting a live feed is great for onsite repair crews when they’re there. However, live feed doesn’t help when deeper analysis is required. New televising equipment comes with documentation software that records feeds in high definition. Some software is also capable of locating concerns in pipe systems automatically. The software keeps records so crews can plan future repairs. It takes some of the guessing out of pipe repair because teams come to site with a plan in mind.
