What you Should Know About Trenchless Technology

Whether it is referred to as “no dig” or “trenchless technology,” one way or another I’m sure you have heard about this revolutionary field in sewer/pipe inspection, rehabilitation, and cleaning. Trenchless technology removes the need for surface excavation, reduces underground construction costs, and also minimizes environmental damage.

One of the biggest advantages, for residents in the areas where services need to be performed on a pipeline, is that you eliminate the problems associated with digging in such a high traffic area. Trenchless technology makes it possible not to dig up the road and make the area more congested than it already is.

RedZone Robotics (a Pittsburgh-based company specializing in trenchless technology), has made developments in robotic sewer inspection. The use of robotics in sewer inspection creates measurable data for agencies to provide a better understanding of the current systems. Robotic sewer inspection prepares you for when a break could occur, where there is a crack or a leak, and also with high resolution images of the pipe. And it can all be done while the pipe is in service.

Laser scanning is also possible with many trenchless robots (like RedZone). Laser scanning creates a 3-dimensional model of the pipe’s environment – which in turn provides you with measurable results and visualization of features that are not visible with traditional CCTV pipe inspection.

Today’s trenchless technology also allows for gas monitoring and Hydrogen Sulfide measurement. Measuring gas levels helps to highlight significant variations in levels or presence of undesirable gases, allowing rehabilitation efforts to be directed to the most appropriate areas.

Security Camera System - Buyers Guide

Although the application of CCTV security have not changed very much over the past years, the tools and equipment have significantly. Cameras became smaller, cheaper and better, but the major breakthrough happened in recording equipment. Therefore many customers shopping for complete CCTV monitoring and recording systems are confused by such a verity of available products. Goal of this article is to guide buyers toward best possible and most economical type of CCTV equipment, based on intended implementation and requirements. Selecting the right cameras.It is virtually impossible to describe all types of available ones in this short article. We will focus our attention on most popular and widely used camera types instead. CCTV produce images using CMOS or CCD (Charge Couple Device) chips. Tiny, very low price CCTV cameras usually use CMOS technology, produce poor quality images and have very poor light sensitivity. Decent quality CCTV cameras use CCD technology. The size of the CCD c...

CCTV Camera Systems - IP Vs Analog

CCTV Camera have come a long way since being first presented into the industry in the late 1950's. There are all kinds of CCTV Security Camera now such as dome Security Camera, topic Security Camera, IR Security Camera that can see in the dark and even tiny little pen Security Camera like the Wayne Connection. The wireless protection electronic camera industry has become one of the quickest growing sectors these days since Sept Eleventh. Analogue and IP Security Camera are the two kinds of CCTV Security Camera available currently in the marketplace. And while though analog CCTV Security Camera are still the most widely used kind, the functions and versatility that customers & businesses can gain by using IP CCTV techniques compared to analog are tremendous. Some functions include, Security Camera that run on energy over Ethernet (POE). What this implies is that the electronic camera can be powered and transfer movie nourish all with one Cat5 wire, rather than running a en...

Evolution of CCTV Camera in India

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) camera is widely used in modern times for surveillance. It is used in all countries for security. India is no exception! You may come across CCTV Camera in India in day-to-day life. Besides, its use is increasing. You may find a great future for CCTV in India. CCTVs are here to stay! CCTV was first designed by the German scientist Walter Brunch in 1942. It was used to monitor the launch of rockets. It, later on, became a part of every rocket launch program. It was used to monitor any technical defects taking place during the launch. United Kingdom (UK) began using the system to monitor public places for crime prevention in 1960s. United States (US) started using the system for crime prevention in public buildings. The use of CCTVs quickly spread to other countries. Largest number of CCTV cameras exists in Europe today. The European Government spends almost two-third of its crime prevention budget in CCTV cameras and Digital Video Recorders (DVRs)....
