Joint separation that admits soil, roots or contamination.
Deformation & Ovality
Pipe deformation signalling bedding or loading failure.
Offset Joints
Misaligned sections restricting flow and risking leakage.
Corrosion & Scaling
Surface deterioration reducing remaining structural life.
Leakage Points
Internal evidence supporting precise leak identification.
Contamination Ingress
Detects entry points that may compromise water quality.
Illegal Connections
Identifies unauthorised connections affecting the network.
Backflow Risks
Reveals connections that may allow reverse flow.
Sediment Accumulation
Detects deposited material affecting water movement.
Water-quality Risks
Supports investigation of suspected network contamination.
Pressure Loss
Identifies defects that may reduce network pressure.
Pipeline Blockages
Detects partial or complete restrictions inside pipelines.
Flow Restriction
Locates obstructions reducing available flow capacity.
Diameter Reduction
Detects scaling and deposits narrowing the internal bore.
Uneven Flow Conditions
Reveals network sections displaying abnormal flow behaviour.
Hydraulic Bottlenecks
Supports targeted planning for capacity-constrained sections.
Cracks & fractures
Pipe crack detection flags early structural weakening.
Pipe collapse
Collapse detection ahead of a road or ground failure.
Broken & open joints
Joint separation that admits soil, roots or contamination.
Deformation & ovality
Pipe deformation signalling bedding or loading failure.
Offset joints
Misaligned sections restricting flow and risking leakage.
Corrosion & scaling
Surface deterioration reducing remaining structural life.
Active leaks
Leak-pinpointing flags flow-loss points before they surface.
Contamination ingress
Contamination checks flag intrusion points along the bore.
Sediment & scaling buildup
Deposits that reduce hydraulic capacity and water quality.
Illegal connections
Illegal connection detection for unauthorised tie-ins.
Obstructions & intrusions
Foreign objects or service intrusions blocking the bore.
Pressure loss zones
Indicates a leak, blockage or undersized section.
Reduced flow capacity
Cross-section loss from scaling, sediment or deformation.
Partial blockage
Blockage detection before it disrupts supply pressure.
Air-lock indicators
Signs of trapped air reducing effective flow.
Poor gradients
Flat or reverse-graded sections that affect flow distribution.
Beyond CCTV Inspection
How the Water Pipeline Inspection Works
Network assessment
Review GIS records, pipe age, material, diameter and the reported supply issue.
Robot deployment
Launch the crawler at the identified manhole or access point.
Internal inspection
Capture continuous CCTV footage with chainage- referenced leak & defect data.
AI leak & defect analysis
Swasth AI classifies and codes structural, water- quality and hydraulic issues.
GIS mapping
Findings are plotted against the network's geospatial asset layer.
Maintenance recommendations
A ranked plan for leak repair, point repair or replacement.

FAQs
What is robotic water pipeline inspection?
A robotic crawler carries a CCTV camera through the water supply pipeline, capturing continuous footage that’s reviewed and AI-coded for leaks, contamination and structural defects — with minimal excavation.
What pipe diameters can be inspected?
Our Endobot water inspection range Endo90, Endo250 and Endo600, with coverage up to 2,100 mm
Can live, pressurised water lines be inspected?
Yes, within limits. Feasibility depends on pressure, flow velocity and diameter; our team assesses each line during scoping.
Can leaks and contamination be detected in the same survey?
Yes. Leak pinpointing and contamination checks are standard parts of the same robotic inspection pass.
Can inspection support non-revenue water (NRW) reduction?
Yes — every leak and defect is severity-ranked and mapped so it feeds directly into an NRW reduction and repair priority list.
How are issues prioritised?
Swasth AI assigns a condition score per segment based on issue type, severity and frequency, then ranks segments for maintenance action.
Do you provide GIS reports?
Yes. Findings are delivered as GIS-linked layers that plug into the utility’s existing asset-management system.
Can illegal connections be detected?
Yes — the Endobot water line-up carries sensors for laser profiling and gradient measurement to flag unauthorised tie-ins.
How much pipeline can be inspected per day?
This depends on diameter, access and pressure condition; our team provides a daily-progress estimate during scoping.
Do you avoid digging pits along the route?
Yes, robotic inspection is designed to minimise excavation and avoid unnecessary pits along the pipeline route. However, access points or limited pits may still be required depending on the pipeline layout and site conditions.
How much does water pipeline inspection cost?
Cost depends on diameter, length, depth, access and reporting scope. Share your network details for a scoped estimate.
What cost and excavation savings can be expected?
In one recent deployment, robotic inspection reduced the number of pits required and lowered inspection costs by up to 5× compared with traditional pit-based diagnosis. Actual savings depend on site conditions and inspection requirements.
