Tackle Large Lines With FIBERSCOPE’s TRACER X20 Floating Pipe Inspection Robot
Flooded and surcharged lines often force municipalities into costly choices: bypass pumping, postponed inspections or incomplete data. TRACER X20 is built for the jobs conventional wheeled crawlers cannot handle. This self-propelled floating inspection robot is designed for large sewer, stormwater, siphon and culvert pipelines where water, silt, flow or poor traction make standard CCTV inspection impractical. The system operates in pipes 24 inches and larger, allowing crews to inspect active or partially flooded lines. It is ideal for long-distance deployments up to 6,700 feet. Its floating, self-propelled design supports long-distance surveys, while high-definition visual inspection can be combined with sonar and laser profiling to document defects above the waterline and sediment or shape changes below it. For utilities and contractors responsible for large-diameter infrastructure, TRACER X20 turns difficult flooded inspections into planned, data-rich maintenance work, reducing disruption while improving asset knowledge, budgeting, cleaning priorities and rehabilitation planning with less setup and fewer site delays. 877-613-2210; www.fiberscope.net/tracer-x20-floating-pipe-inspection-robot/

Vactor JetRight Technology for sewer cleaning
Vactor launched its new JetRight Technology — a pressure management system that enables operators to set a target pressure the unit will not exceed regardless of throttle settings. JetRight Technology is especially handy in cases where pressure should be limited when jetting, like sewer lines in disrepair. It also helps when hydroexcavating and needing to maintain a certain pressure near a utility. Available on Vactor’s 2100i truck, JetRight Technology allows operators to pull more vacuum for demanding jobs while still maintaining consistent water pressure, protecting infrastructure while reducing the risk of hydraulic overheating from water going over reliefs. The intuitive, user-friendly controls align with Vactor’s IntuiTouch control panel that combine cleaning system functions into one control panel. The water pump is controlled hydraulically and features Vactor’s Multi-Flow System enabling adjustments of water flow and pressure on demand. 815-672-3171; www.vactor.com
