By Any Other Name: Robotic Camera

The use of high-definition robotic cameras have revolutionized the way we inspect and maintain sewer systems, but we often hear people refer to this line of services differently - even within the damage prevention space. So, what IS the difference between Robotic Camera Services, Sewer Inspection Services and CCTV Inspections? Just the name! Here are a few more you may or may not have heard:

  • Robotic sewer inspection
  • Remote sewer inspection
  • CCTV sewer inspection
  • Sewer line video inspection
  • Sewer line robotic inspection
  • Robotic drain inspection
  • Remote drain inspection
  • CCTV drain inspection
  • Drain line video inspection
  • Robotic pipeline inspection

Whatever you call it, robotic sewer inspection is a non-invasive method for assessing the condition of sewer pipes. Unlike traditional methods that require digging or excavation, robotic inspection allows for a quick and efficient assessment of the sewer line without damaging the surrounding area. The best part is, you get immediate results! Technicians monitor the camera's high definition video feed on-site capturing real-time footage of the pipe, noting any areas of concern including blockages, cracks or corrosion. This can help utility management teams identify potential issues early on and prioritize maintenance schedules and help prevent costly repairs including extensive excavation and prolonged service outages.

While we all know how expensive utility damages are, we generally think that it won't happen to us. The benefits of Sewer Cameras are often overlooked by other contractors, because they don't work directly WITH sewer systems. However, if there are sewer lines in their work zone: they could still be at risk for damages. Sewer damages are generally not discovered immediately; this can make it next-to-impossible to disprove your liability for damages without video or photo evidence. Robotic cameras offer excavators unparalleled risk mitigation with precise line location and proof of existing line conditions, prior to digging.

No matter what you call it or how your projects involve sewers, IF they involve sewers: Robotic Camera Inspections could revolutionize your projects. Want to know more?
