Advanced inspection equipment from Ashtead Technology aids drainage survey

The latest addition to instrumentation company Ashtead Technology's fleet of drainage inspection equipment recently helped a consultancy firm carry out extensive surveying work on the Isle of Wight. Buckinghamshire-based Subadra Consulting were contracted to undertake the two week drainage survey of a large sewer network as part of a major redevelopment of an existing leisure facility on the island To compliment the company's existing instrumentation they contacted Ashtead Technology to hire the rugged MiniCAM I-CAM Solo pushrod camera. Highly portable and compact, the I-CAM Solo CCTV inspection system incorporates a digital control unit, allowing movie and stills capture onto a compact flash card, with a daylight-viewable 6.5" display. The 60 metre fibreglass reinforced pushrod is able to inspect pipes ranging from 50mm to 225mm as well as negotiate multiple bends and is ideal for CCTV drain surveys on a hire basis. Angus Gale, from Subadra, explained: "The hired I-CAM Solo was a valuable temporary addition to the various inspection instrumentation we already have. For extensive and underwater exploration of this sewerage system we required a rugged pushrod camera that could withstand the conditions and simultaneously provide high resolution video footage that we could later download to a laptop. "We were then able to show this footage to our clients to reassure them that, in this instance, the sewer network was in a suitable condition to allow for the extensive redevelopment of the leisure facility." Alan Hasson, Ashtead Technology's General Manager, added: "The I-CAM Solo is from our comprehensive range of drainage inspection and surveying instrumentation, all available to rent and therefore helping the customer avoid the capital cost associated with buying outright."
