API successfully identifies pipe blockage issue at water treatment works on a live water main

Posted on 290 by 210

API successfully identified a lime blockage on a live water main for a UK client using the Hydrocam 105 metre potable water camera system.
The Hydrocam system removed the guesswork on internal pipe issues at another water treatment works.
PIPA has developed the widest range of ‘in pipe’ pressurised inspection and leak detection products, commercially available for international projects.
We are getting amazing feedback where we can add value using PIPA Technology on upcoming projects all over the UK and around the World.
Exciting times ahead…

API Removes the guesswork for Chelsea customer side water outage

Posted on 264 by 210

API were recently contacted from a private customer regarding the loss of water supply to a property in London. Thames Water investigated outside the property, however the issue was an internal one. The property had lost all of its water supply after a plumber had serviced the boiler.
API offered a solution by using the PIPA Hydrocam S system. The camera entered the 50mm water pipe via a removed stop tap, and quickly identified the issue being a faulty ball type check valve.
A key hole excavation quickly exposed the valve and minimal property damage was caused to the 6 storey central London property.

Client feedback:
I am very happy with API for solving my problem so quickly. I searched on the internet for other companies in the London area, but nobody could offer a camera survey on such a small pipe!
Luckily the camera found my issue was under a kitchen cupboard, we were previously discussing digging up the entire ground floor of my property!
Many thanks API you found it!
