Project Case: Efficient Inspection in Complex Pipeline Systems Using 33mm Rotary Camera

📍 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
