Do you need 2D or 3D sensors for your next pipeline inspection?
As the pioneers of multi-sensor inspection (MSI) for advanced pipeline assessment, RedZone Robotics has a rich, storied history with robotics and sensor technology. With MSI, two of the most misunderstood concepts are differentiation between LASER and LiDAR technologies, and collection and interpretation of 2D versus 3D data. The two are fundamentally different. But, in what […]

A History of Profiler: Inspecting Sewers Since 2009
Accurately assessing large-diameter, underground infrastructure was historically a dangerous job left to those game enough to trudge through the sewer or float down on a surfboard with their rock hammer, cover meter, or measuring bar in tow. With the increased logistics and requirements around health and safety, high-risk manned entry inspections have increased in cost […]

2D Laser Profiling: The Solution for Routine Inspection
While routine CCTV investigation is a beneficial tool for subjective analysis, it can be difficult to quantify and measure remaining useful life from a video image. Failure is not an option for large diameter pipes, so any inspection data must be useful. Laser sensors provide the foundation for a proper, preventative condition assessment. What’s the Difference? […]

Sonar Lets Organizations Inspect Pipes with Flow
The varying conditions within a pipeline play a crucial, and often limiting, role during CCTV inspections. The biggest effect on quality CCTV? Flow levels. A CCTV camera provides little useful data when used underwater. So how do you get the most accurate and valuable data when assessing pipes with flow? Hint: Sonar inspections. Assessing pipes […]
