Municipal sewer pipes are a important part of urban infrastructure. Once clogged or damaged, it not only impact daily life but also can cause environmental pollution and other problems. Last week, due to rain,  my community sewage pipe broke, then there was a lot of sewage on the basement floor, damaging two elevators. Even worse, the repairman said they had discovered the crack over a month ago but failed to promptly inspect and repair it, leading to this serious consequence. Traditional manual inspection methods are inefficient and pose safety risks, but the application of CCTV pipe inspection robots provides an efficient and safe solution to this problem. As an operations expert at Zhengzhou Jiutai Technology Co., Ltd., I will provide you with a detailed 5-step professional solution using CCTV pipe inspection robots to resolve municipal sewer pipe blockages.

Step 1: Preparations before the inspection

Before a pipeline inspection, a professional inspection team must begine a comprehensive preliminary investigation:

Pipeline Data Collection: Obtain basic information such as design drawings and historical maintenance records for the pipeline to be inspected.

Site Survey: Confirm site work conditions such as the location of pipeline inlets and outlets, pipe diameter, length, and water flow.

Choice suitable model:  based on the pipeline's inner diameter and length.

Formulate Plan: Formulate a detailed safety plan, including waterproof and explosion-proof measures.

Zhengzhou Jiutai Technology's CCTV pipeline robot is equipped with a high-definition camera, a fully automatic pay-out vehicle, a flatbed, and an optional controller. It features laser ranging, thickness measurement, polishing, and inspection reporting capabilities to meet the inspection needs of various pipe diameters.

Step 2: The inspection robot enters the pipeline and real-time transmission videos and pictures.

Professional inspect persion will operate the cctv pipe inspection crawler robot according to standard procedures:

Preparation: Clean the manhole to ensure smooth entry of the robot.

Equipment Debugging: Calibrate parameters such as camera focus and light intensity.

Travel Speed: Operate the robot at a constant speed.

Real-time Monitoring: Use a tablet or controller to simultaneously monitor the pipeline's internal conditions, taking photos and videos in real time for manual editing.

Our robot utilizes a four-wheel drive system to handle complex pipeline environments. Its cable, up to 300 meters long, ensures continuous inspection over large pipeline areas. (Customizable for lengths longer than 500 meters)

Step 3: Pipe defect type and location

During the inspection, we can see and record pipeline defects, such as cracks, leakages, deformations, blockages, welding and tree root intrusion.

Real-time Mark: Mark the location and type of defects on the videos.

Step 4: Data Analysis and Generation Report System

After the inspection is complete, our professional team will conduct an in-depth analysis of the data:

Report Preparation: Generate an inspection report.

Repair Recommendations: Propose a targeted pipeline solution based on the defect.

Step 5: Develop a Targeted Solution

Based on the inspection results, we offer a variety of solutions:

High-Pressure Cleaning: Target siltation and blockages using different pressures.

Local Repair: Utilize trenchless technologies such as CIPP for cracks and misaligned joints.

Pipeline Replacement: Develop a segmented replacement plan for severely damaged sections.

Preventive Maintenance: Establish a pipeline health record and develop a long-term maintenance plan.

Technical Advantages and Case Studies

Zhengzhou Jiutai Technology's CCTV pipeline inspection robot offers the following core advantages:

High-Definition Imaging: 4-megapixel HD camera with 360° rotation and 220° flip support. 10x zoom function

Waterproof rate: IP68 waterproof rating, can operate even in full water flow conditions

battery life: 6-8 hours of continuous work on  one time charge

We have successfully provided pipeline inspection services to municipalities across China and elsewhere, effectively preventing numerous potential pipeline collapses.
