📍 Background
A municipal drainage network showed signs of internal scaling, cracks, and joint leakage after years of operation. Traditional inspection methods failed to provide a comprehensive assessment, prompting the client to seek a high-definition inspection solution capable of delivering panoramic views and precise defect localization.
🎯 Solution
We deployed the Vicam 33mm Rotary Camera Inspection System, featuring:
360° rotation for full pipe wall coverage
Compact 33mm diameter, suitable for DN100-DN200 pipelines
Real-time HD imaging with defect annotation
Waterproof and impact-resistant design for harsh environments
🔧 Implementation
The system was deployed at the pipeline entry point:
The camera advanced while rotating, recording the complete pipe interior
Real-time marking of cracks, sediment buildup, and joint displacements
Full video recording with key defect snapshots and structured reporting
📊 Results & Value
Identified 3 hidden cracks and 1 leakage point with precise depth and orientation
Improved inspection efficiency by 40%, reducing manual verification
Enabled precision repair planning, cutting maintenance costs by 30%
🛠️ Applicable Scenarios
Periodic inspection of municipal stormwater and sewage pipelines
Internal corrosion and scaling assessment in industrial pipelines
Building drainage network acceptance and diagnosis
Compliance inspection of environmental discharge pipelines
