摘要:
A system can include a first vehicle operating a mobile pipeline cleaning device for cleaning a pipeline, a second vehicle operating a mobile camera device configured to enter said pipeline and capture video data corresponding to an interior of said pipeline, and a mobile video unit device. The second vehicle can have a transmitter configured to transmit the video data over a communication path, and the mobile video unit device can have a receiver configured to receive the video data from the transmitter over the communication path. The mobile video unit device can visually present to a user a video feed corresponding to the video data.
摘要:
A means for the rehabilitation of a connecting portion between a main pipe-line and a branch pipeline with a main pipe section and a branch pipe section, wherein the main pipe section has a connecting region, wherein the branch pipe section is connected at its first end portion to the connecting region of the main pipe section, wherein the branch pipe section is closed at its second end portion and wherein at least one contactless sensor is disposed within the means.

A method and apparatus for performing maintenance on sewer pipes using a thermal sensor. The method and apparatus may be applied to the reinstatement of lateral openings after a liner has been installed in a main pipe. The thermal sensor detects the location of the lateral openings by sensing the thermal conditions of the liner. The thermal condition of the portions of the liner that cover the lateral openings is different from the thermal condition of the rest of the liner. The apparatus and method is also applicable to detecting groundwater leaks in the main pipe, and is also applicable to inspecting exothermic chemical reactions in the main pipe, such as exothermic grout or epoxy used to seal the liner in the main pipe. The thermal sensor may be integrated into a camera assembly that includes a visual camera at one end and the thermal sensor at the other end. The visual camera is useful in those portions of the main pipe that are full of water.

A hose puller that includes puller wheels that are motorized and configured to grip, among other things, a high pressure water hose. The hose puller further includes an idler wheel that is positioned to oppose the puller wheels. The idler wheel is spring loaded to help ensure that the hose maintains frictional relation with the puller wheels. Alternatively, the hose puller may have puller wheels shaped to grip a high pressure water hose. The hose puller also includes a camera that is configured to show images that enable the operator to control the hose puller from a remote location.
摘要:
A method for retrieving predetermined locations in sewer and pipeline systems after application or deposition of a layer of material. A carrier vehicle having a microwave sensor emits microwave signals and receives backscattered microwave signals. A first run is conducted inside the sewer or pipeline system before application or deposition of the layer of material. A first temporal signal profile of the backscattered microwave signals is recorded and the sought locations are marked in the first signal profile. After the application or deposition of the layer of material, a second run is conducted. A second temporal signal profile of the backscattered signals is recorded. The current position of the vehicle in the sewer or pipeline system relative to the sought locations is determined by comparison with the first signal profile.
摘要:
A composite code assigned to each manhole of a sewer system in a geographical region is associated with an x-y location of the manhole on a digitized geographical map of the region containing a representation of the sewer system including manholes plotted thereon. The composite code is stored in a memory of a computer. Other information regarding each of the manholes is entered into corresponding records stored in the memory of the computer. The composite code is utilized as a link between the record for each manhole and the x-y location of each manhole on the digitized map. Utilizing a computer mouse, an x-y location associated with a location of a manhole on a display of the digitized map containing the sewer system is selected. In response to the selection, the record associated with the selected manhole is retrieved from the computer's memory utilizing the composite code. The retrieved record is displayed on the display.
摘要:
A jet nozzle for use in propelling a trolley or sledge provided with a television or video camera along a conduit, such as a sewer, for use in inspecting the interior of the conduit, the jet nozzle comprising a casing having an end wall provided with a plurality of discharge openings communicating with a chamber formed between said end wall and a transverse wall, an inlet in communication with the chamber and connected to a home, a bearing provided on the casing mounting a connector member for connecting the jet nozzle to the trolley or sledge and allowing the casing to rotate relative to the connector member.
摘要:
A monitoring device for monitoring an interior conduit wall includes a plurality of sliding members each resiliently urged by equal amounts away from the device body toward the conduit wall, so that the device can be used in conduits of different diameters while always remaining substantially centered within the conduit.
摘要:
A television camera, scanner and amplifier all in water proof housings which are close to one another and in tandem. The camera has illuminating lamps coupled to it arranged to illuminate a space forwardly of the lens. An elongate television cable couples the scanner to a television readout screen. The housings are arranged so that they can be moved through a bend or a tee of a standard four inch salt-glazed sewer pipe.

An underwater storage system collects waste, measures the collection and stores the waste in underwater storage tanks from whence the material is pumped when inlet measurement indicates the necessity. Automatic systems are provided for the storage of sewage waste during peak periods and in large flexible walled tanks having flat rectangular bottoms with horizontal oriented inlet and outlet means. When the peak systems are passed, the present invention provides automatic means to reintroduce the stored sewage into the sewage treatment system. The automatic waste, collection, storage and emptying systems and the flexible containers used in those systems have particularly useful application to sewage systems.
