Didn’t Think You Could Afford a Sewer Inspection Van? You Can Now

Recognising that not all companies need the sophistication of its satellite-enhanced, custom-built inspection vans with mainline sewer inspection capabilities, Pearpoint has now launched a new series of smaller vehicles containing the recently introduced P350 flexitrax™ portable crawler system.

[UKPRwire, Fri May 15 2009] Ideal for smaller to medium sized companies, the new Pearpoint vans incorporate the practical and ergonomic features of the larger vans but for a fraction of the price. Up to now, the systems integrators at Pearpoint have fully-equipped either Mercedes Vito or VW Transporters with the recently introduced P350 flexitrax™ portable crawler system

“We are in continual discussion with our customers about ways to improve and provide them with products and services that meet their exact requirements.” explains Douglas Kemp, Product Support Manager at Pearpoint. “It was becoming increasingly clear that there was a need for a van that would give customers all the tools they need to carry out inspections of various pipes and manage reports on-site. As well as incorporating the new P350 flexitrax™, the vans have been designed to include adequate storage for the equipment, as well as a working area for completing on-site reports.

It’s also the versatility of the P350 flexitrax™ that makes it ideal for inclusion in these new inspection vans. The system is engineered to operate in almost any environment. The command module and drum have a weatherproof rating of up to IP68. The tough, yet lightweight controller provides a durable buffer between the elements and survey data.

Currently the vans are being built to include a self-contained powered drum with 250m of cable and a manual drum system with 150m of cable. This means that the position of the manhole is not critical as inspection can take place from the back of the van or using the portable system. However, the greatest advantage of the P350 flexitrax™ is that users can specify which parts of this modular system they need. Not only can they choose their cable system, but there is a wide range of cameras, crawlers and accessories that enables subsite inspection of pipes from 4” to 24”.
