LAVA - Live Acoustic & Visual Assessment
PDS employs some of the world’s most state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. Our small diameter short distance comprehensive inspection equipment has the capabilities for live visual condition assessment and leak detection. Our pressurized pipe inspection and leak detection system is designed for 3” diameter water pipelines and above. The system is mounted onto pipework through a hydrant or a selection of fittings and/or “Hot-Taps”. This process makes access into the pipeline simple and cost effective. Access is done while the pipe systems stays live and pressurized and can handle pressures as high as 150psi.
TPA - Tonal Pipe Assessment
Non-invasive, condition assessment & leak detection for in-service metal, plastic, asbestos cement, and concrete pipes. TPA can determine wall stiffness, thickness, and strength, as well as change of material and any large areas of tuberculation.
