Pipeline condition assessment

Accurately assessing pipeline condition

Orbis smart water network technology can help you take a more proactive approach to pipe condition assessment. Waiting for a leak to occur or replacing perfectly good pipelines along with corroded pipes is wasteful, expensive and time-consuming. Our smart assessment tools can create detailed data to underpin decision-making to rehabilitate corroded networks, with minimal disruption to customers. Helping to reduce service failures and increase customer satisfaction.

How our smart technologies can help assess pipeline condition

  • Use the Streamline portal to identify hotspots at risk of failure
  • Accurately analyze pipeline interiors using our pipe diagnostic equipment

Streamline portal can pinpoint areas susceptible to future failure

Orbis is committed to helping pipeline owners and operators manage networks efficiently, using a network of smart sensors to collect data. The Streamline portal and dashboard converts the sensor data into into actionable intelligence identifying hotspots that may be susceptible to potential future failure. The consequences of leaks and bursts are high. Identifying at-risk pipes in advance enables you to properly plan maintenance expenses while maintaining the operational integrity of the pipeline network.

Accurate pipeline assessment enables data-driven investment decisions

Orbis’s world-leading asset condition assessment and leak detection technologies provide detailed data to underpin decision-making when rehabilitating corroded networks. Pipeline owners can quickly locate leaks and identify infrastructure at risk from corrosion by assessing its life expectancy . The Investigator 100 and Investigator LDS 1000 capture thousands of individual in-pipe datapoints, providing detailed information on wall condition and liner thickness. This helps prioritize works, optimize budgets and prevent future infrastructure failures.

Features of pipe inspection systems
