Small diameter pipelines can be a difficult type of infrastructure to internally inspect. The nature of pipelines tightly enclosed confined space environment and in-line obstacles such as valves, bends, junctions, tapers and internal foreign objects or blockages, requires inspection service providers to carry a multitude of different technology sensors, CCTV cameras, remote operated systems and inspection devices to cover the diverse range of infrastructure inspection scenarios encountered on routine inspection projects across industrial sectors throughout Australia and the Asia Pacific. AUS-ROV utilises a pushrod cctv camera when inspection methodology is governed by access limitations. In this inspection at the Agnes Water Desalination Plant, AUS-ROV was able to insert a camera into a 400mm diameter pipeline and negotiate three large radial bends before travelling a further 50m up the pipeline to inspect the internal condition. AUS-ROV maintains its commitment to our clients in that we will go out of our way to offer whatever is required to achieve a successful outcome for any inspection project.
