API Surveys and traces water mains via existing standard fire hydrants

Posted on January 9, 2018 269 by API 210

API Has just completed a project tracing non-ferrous water mains under standard operating pressure via existing fire hydrants. API is the only company in the UK to offer this unique service up to a distance of 200 metres.
The PIPA Hydrocam S system includes a chlorination housing and cable protection device, to guarantee safe application when working on potable water mains. This new approach to water main assessment and tracing requires no excavations, hydrant changes or reinstatement’s. The surveys are a guarantee way to determine internal pipe condition, material and configuration, and are becoming a new industry approach when undertaking cleaning schemes and R&D projects.

API Successfully completes PIPA Flowrider trial (16 bar) for WSD Hong Kong

Posted on December 16, 2017 263 by API 210

API Has just completed a pipe inspection trial for WSD in Hong Kong. The pilot project was to assess numerous bitumen lined trunk mains, and identify any defects and unlined sections. The pressurised inspections were 16 bar pressure and successfully completed by API, and gave the utility a true understanding of their water main condition.
The trial scheme has now been extended to an additional 24 pipe surveys, with many other territories planning work for 2018.

API offers live pipe inspection solution

Posted on March 10, 2017 241 by API 210

API was recently contacted by a commercial client who had a suspected issue on a 4 inch PVC main. The client had undertaken a water audit, which identified a loss of water. The most critical area of concern was the main plant entry location, as the pipe sits encased with a concrete cover.
API undertook the survey using PIPA Technology The Hydrocam and Pipepod, and delivered an 80 metre survey of the pipe as required.
The successful survey eliminated any risk of leaks at this location, and also identified internal debris within the pipeline.
