Due to the growing demand of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)/Laser
Profiling Pipe Inspection Services, SSMC has purchased a second CCTV Unit.
Using CCTV, laser profilers and digital recording systems, SSMC
provides clients with color digital imagery, color digital video and internal
pipe survey data for pipes from 6 inches to 100 inches in diameter. The laser
profiler collects internal pipe survey data and is used to create pipeline
reports containing the measurement of faults and other features inside the
pipeline. This includes measurements of pipe size, laterals, water levels and other
features, as well as automatic analysis of pipe ovality and capacity up to 30
times per second. CCTV software allows seamless recording of all pertinent pipe
data easily recorded onto DVD/CD and printable table formats for report
supplementation. All video imagery can be linked to the pipes in a GIS for
seamless mapping and video review in the office.
CCTV/Laser Profiler utility inspection systems allow the
operator to record important information such as time, date, manhole/station
numbers and operating personnel. The use of this system allows SSMC to localize
and pinpoint problems such as cracks, sags, root obstructions, settlement or breaks.
The system is used to perform as-built inspections, locate service connections,
and find buried manholes, valves, etc.
