Closed circuit television inspections, or CCTV, are used to locate and identify damage that threatens the pipe’s integrity by using cameras to see inside the pipe. CCTV is one of the most popular and effective methods in the pipe rehabilitation industry. Remote control cameras travel through the pipe so NASSCO-certified technicians can assess the video and recommend repairs, maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement. The insight that CCTV provides minimizes the cost and helps ensure proactive, restorative, and preventative actions are taken to promote the longevity of pipe infrastructure.
It is common to thoroughly clean pipes before a CCTV inspection to capitalize on the assessment. Debris can obstruct the camera’s view. Standard Pipe Services, LLC has NASSCO-certified technicians experienced in cleaning and televising pipes. Our expertise provides clients with solutions that stay within budget guidelines and strengthen their infrastructure with preventative maintenance. Utilizing CCTV video allows us to correctly identify the following:
- Root intrusion
- Earthquake damage
- Pipe cracking
- Offset joint pipes
- Corrosion
- Deterioration over time
- Poor installation or previous repair efforts
- Accidental puncturing
- Severe blockage
CCTV methods are cost-effective because it helps minimize repairs by focusing on the area causing the problem rather than replacing an entire section of pipe when it is not necessary. It is a less invasive method than excavating to locate problem areas. A CCTV inspection can run the whole length of the pipe for near-immediate diagnosis and solution implementation.
Standard Pipe Services LLC (SPS) has perfected the art of conducting seamless CCTV inspections and successfully completing repairs that increase the integrity and longevity of pipe infrastructure. Contact us for your CCTV inspection needs, and follow us on LinkedIn and FaceBook.
