Pipe Inspection Services for Water Utilities
Aging infrastructure and replacement costs are major challenges for municipal and county water utilities. With populations increasing and available freshwater resources decreasing, water and wastewater distribution pipelines need to be maintained to prevent water loss and damage to the surrounding environment.
Maintaining aging pipeline infrastructure doesn’t always mean costly complete pipeline replacement. With pipeline inspection services from PPIC, water utilities are provided with all the information needed to fully understand the actual condition of their infrastructure.
PPIC is in the business of inspecting pipes used in municipal water and sewage distribution systems. As the acknowledged global leader in the evaluation of water pipelines, PPIC provides clients with the information needed to fully understand the actual condition of their infrastructure. Based on these assessments, water supply system managers can establish a meaningful cost-savings plan for the rehabilitation and long-term maintenance of their lines.
Condition Assessment
Even though existing piping infrastructure may appear to be structurally sound, proactive condition assessment at an early stage can avoid costly future problems resulting in production downtime, damage to infrastructure, and potential danger to citizens.
Leak Detection
The Pressure Pipe Inspection Company (PPIC) offers water utilities the most accurate and trusted leak detection system which allows pipeline operators to become more proactive by systematically seeking and abating water leaks in their water distribution systems.
Proactive pipeline condition assessment programs are now at the heart of many municipalities long-term maintenance programs – for new and existing lines. Utility personnel and others working to preserve their infrastructure are understanding and utilizing the benefits of advanced RFTC and Sahara® technologies to assess the condition of pipelines and take the proper precautions in repairing any flaws.
