Remote Inspection Equipment: Rehab Focus
Remote inspection equipment from CUES, Envirosight, Aries Industries and R.S. Technical Services.
CUES
The LAMP II (Lateral and Mainline Probe II) is an inspection tool for identifying infiltration and inflow, potential cross-bores, pipe defects, and structural conditions in lateral services and mainlines. The self-propelled LAMP is designed to perform pan and tilt inspections of mainline sewer pipes with a simultaneous viewing of the adjacent lateral services. Inspect with or against the flow for increased production and reduced set-ups. An integrated wireless controller is available to operate all launcher, platform, camera, and reel operations from the front, rear or within 50 feet line of sight 800.327.7791, cuesinc.com
Envirosight
A new crawler option for ROVVER X inspects large pipe with high flow, deep mud and big obstacles. Designed to inspect even the toughest trunk lines and interceptors, the new RX400 inspection crawler body boasts a built-in remotely operated camera lift with 17.5 inches of vertical travel—enough to center viewing in a 60-inch line, and suitable for inspecting pipe up to 10 feet in diameter. The new crawler integrates seamlessly with any ROVVER X system, so an owner can use existing controls, reel and camera. 973.252.6700, envirosight.com
