Our Verdict: A revolutionary approach to pipeline inspection that eliminates the need for costly shutdowns of critical infrastructure.

The Eddyfi Pipetel Explorer is a free-swimming pipeline inspection robot designed to assess the condition of pressurized water and gas mains without taking them out of service. Inserted through a standard valve, it navigates the live pipeline using the flow of the medium while capturing electromagnetic and acoustic data.

The Explorer detects wall thickness loss, corrosion, material defects, and joint conditions from inside the pressurized pipe. This in-service inspection capability eliminates the massive cost and disruption of shutting down critical water and gas mains, representing a breakthrough for utility asset management.
