6 PIPES & DRAINAGE 2018
Aquam Pipe Diagnostics
(APD) can deliver complete
analysis of the condition of
all pipeline infrastructure
employing a comprehensive
range of proven technologies.
New to the market in 2018 is
Amplus™, an advanced
crawler system that can enter
and inspect potable water
pipelines of 200mm-diameter
and above.
The revolutionary
surveying system, which was
developed at APD's research
and training centre in Derby
can gather thousands of true
wall and liner thickness
measurements over lengths
of up to 2,000m - 1,000m
upstream and downstream
from one insertion point.
Amplus is not ‚ ow depend-
ant and can also assess
corrosion and calculate the
asset life expectancy of
pipeline infrastructure.
The system can provide
live-feed CCTV from its
forward and reverse cameras,
real-time hydrophone data
for active long-distance leak
detection and can track and
locate from above-ground
with its high-powered sonde.
Used in conjunction with
APD's soˆ ware, the Amplus
crawler operates in pressures
up to 10 bar.
It can survey concrete,
asbestos cement and plastic
pipes visually and for leakage
and additionally carry out
non-destructive testing (NDT)
condition assessment on all
metallic pipes.
APD's LDS 1000™ pipe
inspection system for live
insertion and inspection of
potable water pipelines has
already been deployed in at
least 12 diΠerent countries on
over 1,000km of pipe
infrasatructure. It is ideally
suited for long-distance leak
detection in pipes of up to
1,000m in length.
The sensor-head combines
live-feed CCTV, real-time
hydrophone data-capture and
includes a high-powered
sonde, enabling pinpointing
areas of interest as well as
long-distance line-tracing.
The system is suitable for
under-pressure inspection
and leak detection of larger
pipes of 300mm-diameter
and above.
LDS 1000 can access pipes
through valves as small as
50mm internal diameter and
operate in pressures of up to
10 bar; it can be used in GPS
tracking and plotting
applications.
