US Electric Utility
Sharing the story of our customer's success
Electric Utility company in the US face pipeline corrosion problems in high density urban areas, causing service downtime and energy efficiency issues.
Due to the concrete layer, water crossings, and network density, leaks and defects cannot be located with traditional means. Digging across the whole faulty length can easily cost several million dollars and deeply disturb the local community
DRM changed this paradigm. Thanks to the technology's ability to quickly get data from the existing manholes, Our client's maintenance team perform precise surveys of the infrastructure with minor disruption on road traffic, and precise insights on traditionally impossible-to-scan sections.
DRM easily identify, characterize and locate coating defects and leaks. Small excavation trenches are then enough to repair the defects, for a fraction of the usual price.
French & Korean District Heating
Sharing the story of our customer's success
French & South Korean district heating companies often need to survey deep pipeline sections responsible for high energy losses.
Pipeline depth and urban context typically prevent traditional methods from working efficiently, especially in a preventive maintenance approach.
Heuristech deploy DRM equipment through the pipeline’s existing infrastructure. Thanks to the ability of the DRM signal to reach normally unattainable spots, and its sensitivity to even small defects, we enable a smart, preventive maintenance even in the deepest sections of the heat network.
DRM's ability to precisely localte critical corrosions in five-meter-deep pipelines is of especially great value, as it allows very targeted deep excavations in key areas.
