The upkeep and maintenance of wastewater networks are crucial issues for local authorities and specialized companies alike. Among modern technological tools, televised inspection is an essential solution for assessing the condition of pipes without invasive intervention. Using specialized cameras and robots, this method can accurately identify anomalies, optimize maintenance and avoid costly repairs.
Among the innovative equipment on the market, the Roview2 from Multinnov stands out for its advanced technology, its adaptability to confined environments and its effectiveness in the field. This article explores in detail the importance of TV inspection, its objectives and benefits, and how the Roview2 meets the challenges of modern sanitation.
Televised pipe inspection: an indispensable tool
Definition and principle of TV inspection
Televisual inspection is based on the use of an on-board camera in an inspection robot, enabling underground pipes and sewers to be examined without the need for destructive work. Depending on the type of pipe to be inspected, the camera can be fixed, swiveling or mounted on a motorized carriage.
The aim is to obtain a clear, detailed picture of the state of the networks, in order to detect any anomalies such as :
- Pipe cracks and breaks
- Obstructions caused by grease deposits, roots or foreign objects
- Structural deformations due to ground movements
- Seepage and leaks compromising network tightness
- Connection problems impacting flow efficiency
Thanks to technological advances, the cameras used today offer high-definition resolutions (HD, 4K), 360° vision, and can transmit images in real time to the operator. Some solutions, such as the Roview2 from Multinnovgo even further, integrating advanced mobility systems for easy navigation in confined environments.
Why inspect pipes regularly?
Sewage systems are essential infrastructures for managing wastewater and stormwater. Any failure can lead to major risks for public health, the environment and urban infrastructures. That's why TV inspection plays a central role in network prevention and management.
Prevent congestion and flooding
Clogged pipes can cause sewage backups, overflows and flooding, resulting in health problems and high repair costs. With TV inspection, you can anticipate these problems by pinpointing areas at risk and implementing targeted maintenance measures.
Ensuring regulatory compliance
Local authorities and operators must comply with strict sanitation standards. Damaged or non-compliant pipes can expose the operator to financial and legal penalties. Televisual inspection ensures that infrastructures meet the requirements of current regulations.
Reduce maintenance and repair costs
Early detection of faults can avoid costly and time-consuming interventions. Rather than having to replace a whole section of pipe, a localized repair may suffice if the problem is identified early on.
Safeguarding operations and the environment
Pipe failures can have serious ecological repercussions, with polluting leaks contaminating groundwater or watercourses. Televisual inspection enables these leaks to be identified and quickly sealed, thus reducing the environmental impact of sewer systems.
What solutions are there for inspecting wastewater networks?
The different technologies available
Televisual inspection can be carried out using several types of equipment:
- Hand-held cameras : used for small ducts, they offer basic vision but limited range.
- Motorized carts with on-board camera : suitable for larger pipes, they provide more precise control and greater mobility.
- Autonomous inspection robots : they offer great flexibility, and are able to move in ducts of varying sizes and over obstacles.
