Bullet™

Source: Matchpoint Water Asset Management

The Bullet™ is a pressurized pipework leak detection system, featuring a hydrophone, HD CCTV and a high powered sonde for pipeline location. The system is designed for 4 inch diameter pipework and above for leak detection and visual assessment.

Access to pipework is possible through full bore fittings, 1.5 inches and above air valves, gate valves and Quadrina’s directly on the pipe at full mains pressure. The Bullet™ offers two modes; free flowing and tethered. In free flowing mode the maximum distance achievable is approximately 12 miles and in tethered mode 1640ft of inspection possible from a single insertion. The device utilizes the flow of water to propel the sensor head along the pipework, where data is extraplolated following retrieval from the pipe. Flow velocity, pipe configuration and battery life will determine the inspection distance.
