Inspection Services

To make scientifically defensible decisions about pipeline renewal, operators must have the right data. Using state-of-the-art inspection technologies, Pureflex systems provides actionable information about actual pipeline condition. Through regular leak detection and pipe wall assessment, it is possible to identify specific areas along a pipeline that require immediate renewal. Armed with a baseline condition from inspection, operators are able to renew their assets and manage them more effectively through re-inspection and future capital planning.

   • Leak Detection
Proactive leak detection on water, wastewater, and oil and gas pipelines is an important part of any infrastructure management program. It allows operators to obtain a baseline condition of their assets, as many leaks often lead to pipe failure.
   • Pipeline Condition Assessment
We provide water and wastewater utilities with the most comprehensive suite of solutions for Pipeline Condition Assessment – from the latest cutting-edge tool to time-tested and proven expertise, Pureflex systems is the leader in pipeline assessment.
• Gas Pocket Detection
When managing wastewater force mains, leak and gas pocket detection is crucial since their presence is often a preliminary indicator of a potential failure location.
   • Video Inspection
Regular pipeline inspection is crucial to sustaining the lifespan of water and wastewater networks. Pureflex Systems pipeline video inspection solutions can help ensure pipelines are functioning properly and provide operators with a visual of actual internal pipeline conditions.
The circuit television (CCTV) system gives utilities the ability to see inside water pipelines without costly shutdowns or dewatering during leak detection and pipe wall assessment surveys. Tethered to the surface, the Sahara platform is gently pulled by the flow of the water, transmitting real-time video data from inside the pipeline. With the ability to travel up to 6,000 feet (1.8 kilometers) in a single deployment, the video solution can be used for a number of applications, including;
• Locating lost line valves
• Investigating unexplained flow conditions
• Locating debris and partial blockages
• Searching for illegal connections
• Locating and assessing tuberculation of all types
• Visually inspecting pipe walls and liners
• Examining the condition of suspect valves
• Screening for obstacles or laterals before using a free-swimming inspection tool
• Assessing internal corrosion on metallic pipes
• Inspecting pipes near a known leak to help plan repairs
The system is easily inserted into a live pipeline through a standard 2 inch or larger tap, and can be used on pipelines with a diameter of 4 inches or greater
