API Successfully surveys another Hydro scheme using PIPA Technology

Posted on May 17, 2021 264 by API 210

API is a specialist pipe inspection technology company offering clients unique products for live water pipe inspection. The process involves inserting a camera and hydrophone sensor into a pressurised pipeline whilst the pipe remains under normal operating pressure and in service.
API recently undertook a live pipe inspection project in Scotland on 5.5 km of 400mm PVC/Ductile Iron hydro plant pipeline, due to a reduction in hydraulic output identified by the client.
The inspection scheme was not a standard project due to the challenging mountainside terrain and access issues. Pre planning for the project was the key to its success, and on site pre surveys were undertaken. The hire of a specialist all-terrain vehicle was organised for the inspections along with an experienced driver.
The client organised and installed 10 camera insertion points along the pipeline utilising under pressure saddles and fittings, fusion welded or clamped to the PVC pipeline and configured with ball valves for camera insertion.
API Successfully completed the project using the PIPA Commissioncam system to identify internal pipe issues including pipe implosion points, air pockets and debris.
