Sonar Inspection
Sonar technology uses an acoustic beam to profile the interior of liquid-filled pipes. It is a reliable inspection technology used to inspect sewers below the water surface and is generally used:
- On fully submerged pipes or siphons
- Bypass pumping not required
- To quantify debris or sediment (ie lost capacity) in a line
- To identify gross anomalies
- In pipes ≥ 12″
Sonar equipment can be skid, float or tractor mounted. HUSA has portable systems mounted on all-terrain, amphibious vehicles for sites with challenging access issues.
