If it’s not standard for you it’s probably not standard most places in the us either. I’m split between a county and a military base. The military contract requires we us to jet 10% of the total length of line every year. Thanks for letting me know that through I made an assumption that was wrong.

Yeah they need to get new footage. What your sayings pretty consistent to what I see. I didn’t bring up roots blocking before because the type of tire wouldn’t help with a root ball. We usually don’t get too many blockages from debris though. The contractor has an issue with trying to save time and they pull the pressure watcher like 20 feet or less ahead of the rover. I’m going to try to attach an image of an odd one. - I can’t find the photo :(

I work for a rural water district most lines are 6-8 in. When the camera gets submerged we usually tell the contractor to get new footage. On my end it actually happens fairly often but I have to flag it each time as sagging pipe.

What issues do you usually run into if you don’t mind me asking? I’m curious if it’s much different than here

I’ve never seen a cctv review of a water main, I’d imagine your right but I don’t know. Im the map guy though my review of this stuff is purely for documentation and whatnot so I don’t have details on a lot of the hands on parts of it.

I review footage for two districts one is old enough to have brick sewer lines and yeah a lot cant be complete mostly VCP vitrified clay pipe

Actually they can get through just fine with regular wheels even in high water. before the rover goes through the sewer main they pull a rotating pressure washer that gets rid of most the grime that would prevent the wheels from getting traction. They get submerged frequently and can handle no problem. Only thing bad about it is there’s nothing to clean the camera after it gets wet so it can ruin the footage. Source I review footage as part of my work

I work for a water district and review footage of sewer mains. Without getting into much detail, as long as the camera isn’t violently shaky this kind of wheel would be great. Sometimes sewer pipes become offset at joints and because fixing it is expensive as long as shit can still flow it’s ignored. The standard little rover can get over most offsets but debris like a random brick that some how gets in stops it in its tracks. If this new thing can get around obstacles that along would be really good. Also I’ve never seen a gator in the sewer but I’ve seen rats and rat snakes. Coworker saw a raccoon.
