CUES Sonar Pipe Profiling System

CUES Sonar Pipe Profiling System

The Sonar Profiler System is designed to provide accurate dimensional data on silt level, grease accumulation, pipe deformation, offsets, etc, below the waterline.

While CCTV is the standard acceptable method of visually inspecting pipelines above the waterline, it cannot provide visual information on internal pipe conditions below the waterline. In charged lines or siphons, the Sonar Profiler System provides the visual profile, profile comparison, and dimension data of significant items or defects. A sonar inspection of a fully or partially charged line provides a two-dimensional profile of the interior pipe wall similar to a medical MRI. Using the sonar software, a circle overlay is projected, sized, and moved anywhere within the image for checking erosion or remaining wall thickness. Accurate measurements can be made between any two points within the sonar image. Thus, offset, debris level, size of blockage, grease level, defects and so forth can be quantified. In partially charged lines, the Sonar can be combined with CCTV to provide a simultaneous composite image of the pipe both above and below the waterline!

Two (2) different sonar systems, (1) for submerged pipelines and (1) for semi-submerged pipelines, are available to survey pipelines measuring 12" up to 18' in diameter.
