The Case for
Pipeline Management
There is a growing funding gap between water and sewer pipeline spending and the investment needed to renew this critical infrastructure. Proactively managing pipelines and valves is a proven way to reduce risk, prevent failures, and maximize spending on the assets that need it most.

Product Features
- Locates very small leaks and air pockets in real time with sub-meter accuracy
- Ideal for complex pipeline networks requiring precision control and location accuracy
- Easy-to-deploy through existing pipeline features 2 inches (50 mm) and larger
- Can be deployed in no-flow conditions
- Real-time pipeline mapping confirms the alignment and locates pipeline features
- Captures live video of the pipeline interior
