Use of Drones for Sewer Inspection

All in all, taking care of your sewer inspections using one of our state‑of‑the‑art drones will revolutionise the way you collect and capture data from your sewer systems and pipelines. Here at Multinnov, we’re experts in drone inspections for confined spaces and we’d be delighted to tell you more about our products and services and the difference they can make to your company. 

Traditionally, sewer inspections are carried out in a number of ways, including manned inspections and digital inspections using CCTV cameras. Manned inspections present a risk to safety and health for obvious reasons, and while operatives are trained to carry out thorough inspections of sewer systems, finding an alternative safer way to do so has to be better. Rafts and sleds with mounted CCTV cameras can also be cumbersome and aren’t always able to get around the smaller areas of the sewers. They are also expensive. But the use of drones for sewer inspection eliminates the safety, navigation, and cost problems other methods pose. 

Why Consider the Use of Drones For Sewer Inspections? 

There are  many reasons to consider the use of drones for sewer inspection. The most important is protecting your employees. Whenever an employee enters the sewer system, they are potentially risking injury or even death. Flooding sewer lines and noxious gases are just some of the risks they could be exposed to. It’s also worth considering the cost of the PPE equipment they have to wear on every entry and the replacement or cleaning of that PPE that has to happen on every inspection. These costs can mount up. 

The Highest Quality Data and Imaging

Whether you need to check the integrity of your sewer structures or check the reason for a blockage, the use of drones for sewer inspection can cut down inspection times and reduce the time it takes to resolve critical issues. Our UAVs are equipped with power lighting, perfect for shedding light on the subject, and 4K high‑definition cameras that will show you exactly what is going on in great detail. All in all our UAVs will act as your eyes and ears underground and will provide the images and video you need when you need it. If you’re worried that a drone inspection won’t present as high‑quality data as an operative could let us put your mind at rest.
