Endobot
Our water products reduce the leakages in pipelines, thereby reducing massive amount of non revenue water. They also help maintain the integrity of the pipelines by doing condition assessment and analysis.
Endobot is a next-generation robot used for internal condition assessment and defect detection in pipelines that characterizes and pinpoints the location of defects along with analytics so that asset managers can take preventive maintenance actions thereby reducing losses.
Endobot has the advanced capabilities are
- Live visual inspection,
- Crack & hole detection,
- Laser Profiling and digital twinning.
- Inspect pipelines up to a distance of 400 Metres at the run.
- Easily compatible to various dimensions for water and sewer pipelines
Benefits
- Pipeline (above 150 mm) internal condition monitoring
- Leak Detection solution via visual inspection.
- Provides detailed interior view (corrosion, leaks, faults)
- Advanced solutions inc. software analysis & digital twins Digitisation & prognostics planned in future
SPECIFICATIONS
- Minimum pipe opening 205mm
- Maximum tether length 300 mm
- Maximum speed 20 cm/s
- Vehicle weight 14 Kgs
- Maximum payload (weight) 30 Kgs
- Camera 2MP Front Camera
- Lighting 2 auxiliary LED lights
iGlobus
iGlobus is a 7-inch spherical flow-propelled robot developed for long-range inspection of pressurized water pipelines that are 10 inches or larger.
SPECIFICATIONS
- In just a single deployment, long distance inspections for up to 24 hours is possible.
- Carries highly sensitive acoustic sensors and odometry sensors for leak detection and localization respectively.
- The sensors are integrated by a custom-designed circuit board, that interfaces the sensors to an on-board processing unit.
- The iGlobus is easy to deploy and does not cause any disruption to the pipeline service.
- Inspection of unpiggable pipelines can be done with ease.
- Identification of features or signatures relevant to the operation and mapping of the pipeline is done.
CASE STUDIES
- Organisation name : Chennai Metro Water
- Location : Ashok Nagar, Chennai
-
Objective :
Data acquisition through Camera
Data analysis and report submission -
Results :
Encrustations in the pipeline
Leaks in the pipeline
What we intend to do?
To detect critical defects leading to the pipeline leakage and also perform overall internal condition assessment to identify wall defects, encrustations and unidentified objects and their locations, for corresponding corrective actions to be taken at specified sections of pipeline minimal digging of the roads.
What we have done?
The inspection was performed to understand the internal condition of the water pipeline. It was found that the pipeline was filled with encrustations in. We were able to inspect the encrustations which wasa dense and masisve. One major leak was detected within 1 metre of the access point. Total inspection of around 29.5 metres was done as after that"
Our procedure:
Endobot was inserted into the pipeline through an opening, remotely controlled with the help of a tether. Then, it was driven inside the pipeline through controlled manual-feed. The live video feed from the camera is obtained at the base station. The feedback from Endobot is used to identify and locate the critical spots in the pipeline. Various types of defects and pipeline features such as leaks, cracks, contamination sources, encrustation, are identified.
