Moving from Time-Based to Condition-Based Cleaning Saves Significant Time and Money.

Whole-network CCTV sewer line assessment is very costly and is a slow process. Rapid Assessment Technology Services (RATS Inc.) has redefined the assessment process by providing municipalities with comprehensive acoustic network condition data in a fraction of the time and cost required by the old, costly CCTV methods.

The patented acoustic technology provides real-time blockage assessments and records the condition of approximately 3,000 Meters of 150-450 mm gravity sewer lines per day. Using the most commonly used mapping and database platforms, Municipalities receive a whole-network map and condition report pinpointing the areas which require the more expensive and resource intensive CCTV and repair crews only where needed – usually less than 25% of the entire network!

When it comes to sewers, smart municipalities make smarter, data-driven decisions! Municipalities now can focus their high-cost resources only on the small percentage of the network that represents a potential service disruption or hazard to the community.
