External Pipeline Inspection Technology

The Acquaint PipeScanner, an ultra-sound based tool is loaded with sensors to detect pipe wall thickness, corrosion, leaching, and deterioration due to H2S degradation with an accuracy of up to < .14mm.

PipeScanner is specifically developed to inspect pipelines in a non-destructive way, from the outside, with little disturbance. For use on steel, cast iron, asbestos cement, and HPDE/PVC pipelines. Utilized in-house for external pipeline testing, PipeScanner offers a cost-effective addition to condition assessment amid rising prices and limited budgets. Efficiently assesses asbestos cement pipelines in air valve vaults along sewer force mains and water mains. In failure scenarios, pipe wall scanning of adjacent AC or metallic pipes identifies at-risk areas needing repair. PipeScanner provides high-accuracy, non-destructive AC testing, vital for aging pipeline management.

Measurement data is transmitted to Acquaint’s cloud via the upload tool and algorithms are analyzed by Acquaint’s experts, providing valuable insights. Asset managers can set thresholds, generate reports, and compare data year-over-year. Acquaint’s advanced dashboard provides all the insights and overviews necessary to zoom in and out on collected inspection data, allowing owners to focus on key performance indicators and implement planning for further inspections, repairs or rehabilitation.
