Water Main Ultrasonic Pipe Wall Thickness Testing Allows Pipe to Remain in Service

By deploying JD7’s suite of live, under-pressure insertion technology, water systems remain operable with no disruption to service
Water Main Ultrasonic Pipe Wall Thickness Testing Allows Pipe to Remain in Service
The new nonintrusive, intrinsic evaluation gives engineers and corrosion specialists many accurate points of data from one single insertion, at many points over the course of the total insertion length. From this data, specialists can accurately determine the approximate useful life remaining in the area, all while allowing no extra time, costs and minimal impact to the public which will reduce the cost of analyzing America’s water infrastructure.

A team of industry professionals successfully partnered to conduct pressurized water main testing in some of the most challenging pipe networks in the world last week in a suburb of Denver, Colorado, using a new technology that was acquired by Aquam.

The partnership between...
