CCTV Pipe Inspection
McVac Environmental Services operates a fleet of different tractors/crawlers for CCTV pipe inspection, allowing us to perform the hardest and largest pipe inspections. We have tractors capable of CCTV pipe inspections in pipe sizes ranging from 6" to 120" in diameter, all of which are steerable units, allowing the equipment to be maneuvered with ease around any bends or sharp turns in the pipe. This saves significant equipment downtime, allowing McVac Environmental Services to be highly productive and capture the maximum amount of CCTV pipe inspection footage per day.
Our trucks are equipped with the latest CCTV pipe inspection equipment and software, which allows our operators to identify defects (broken tiles, cracks, offset joints, blockages, etc.) and pinpoint in the footage where the exact trouble areas are for repair.
Sonar Pipe Inspection
McVac Environmental Services is one of only a handful of companies in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions to offer sonar inspection services for all types of pipes. Sonar inspection allows a pipe to be inspected even when running at capacity. Sonar is capable of measuring sediment depth and depicting pipe deficiencies, such as protruding laterals, infiltration, cracks and breaks. Sonar profiling has proven to be very successful in a number of applications. Surcharged pipelines, siphons, force mains and river crossings can be inspected without the disruptive and costly need for bypass pumping.
The sonar inspection instrument can be coupled with a CCTV camera and used in semi-submerged pipelines, providing a continuous image of the pipe both above and below the waterline. Customers can watch the live video from our Video Vans and are supplied with both electronic and hard copies of the entire inspection.
McVac Environmental Services utilizes NASSCO (PACP) certified software and operators for all pipe inspection projects.
