CUES Releases FLYEYE Inspection System
Send Via E-MailORLANDO, FL - September 14, 2010 - WastewaterPR.com - Using a combination of laser profiling, underwater sonar profiling and high-resolution HDTV imaging, the FLYEYE pipeline inspection system collects and processes data on internal pipeline conditions including debris level, ovality, H2S erosion, lateral location, and damage without requiring flow diversion, flow interruption, or manhole ring removal.
FlyEye PIPELINE INSPECTION AND EVALUATION SYSTEM
Using a combination of laser profiling, underwater sonar profiling and high-resolution HDTV imaging, the FLYEYE pipeline inspection system collects and processes data on internal pipeline conditions including debris level, ovality, H2S erosion, lateral location, and damage without requiring flow diversion, flow interruption, or manhole ring removal.
Reports and video images provide a complete data package to rank risk and evaluate defect severity to establish proper and economical processes for rehabilitation.
The floatation platform is designed to operate in pipelines from 39” to 120” diameter with 25 to 75% flow (100% flow with the special float). It employs acoustical sonar to profile the invert and measure debris depth below the flow.
A multi-camera laser profiler used for precise measurement of internal pipe walls, including ovality, H2S erosion, lateral location, holes and other defects above the flow. The high-resolution digital camera survey captures an 1800 image of the interior pipe above the flow. Standard reports include Flat, True Diameter, Ovality (per ASTM 1216), Capacity (cross-sectional area), XY Diameter, Maximum Diameter.
