Multi-Sensor Autonomous Inspection Device for Condition Assessment
Publication: Pipelines 2024
ABSTRACT
PICA provides a breadth of services to asset managers, and we built a Multi-Sensor Autonomous Inspection Device (MSAID) for low-resolution condition assessment. PICA used this device to help the municipality of Jasper, AB, Canada, gather data on a fire water pipeline. The device was inserted and retrieved through fire hydrants connected to the line. The data collected by the device were used to determine a leak location. This allowed the municipality of Jasper, AB, to repair that specific section that had been causing a significant loss of water. Applications of technology are constantly evolving by becoming more efficient, resilient, and effective. Using a Multi-Sensor Autonomous Inspection Device allowed the Municipality of Jasper, AB, to gain a low-resolution data set without interrupting service.
