TROGLOTREK Portable Sewer Crawler Proved Itself

Problem

A USPS Postal Facility at Carol Stream, Illinois, requested Complete Plumbing Inc. to conduct a series of inspections to check the condition and ensure the integrity of their under-facility drainage ducts. Complete Plumbing Inc. owned equipment to conduct inspections in short tracts, but they required additional equipment for the two main drainage ducts, with the longest one running around 790'. At the point of entry, one of the mains had an initial pipe diameter of 12", then enlarged to 15" and finished with a diameter of 18" with an inclination of 1% and 1.9%, respectively. The other main run started with a 10" pipe with an inclination of 1% and finished with an 18" diameter pipe with a 2% inclination.

Solution

The project team reached out to Fiberscope.net with their request to rent the portable crawler unit, TROGLOTREK, a self-contained robotic pipe crawler that features a compact portable reel and an all-wheel drive crawler with a pan and tilt camera head.  

Result

The project team expected to complete the job in two days and wondered about the unit's user-friendliness. The TROGLOTREK crawler surpassed their expectations by completing the task in one day instead of the assumed two days. By this, the TROGLOTREK Portable Sewer Crawler proved itself a user-friendly and affordable solution for underground pipe inspections and integrity checks.
