Fewer failures, lower risk, reduced costs

Pipeline condition data collected by the PipeDiver^® platform empowers utilities to make confident rehabilitation and management decisions on a pipe-by-pipe basis. The PipeDiver platform provides powerful insights to help pipeline owners avoid unnecessary asset replacement, reduce the risk of dangerous and expensive failures, and prioritize investments in the pipes that need it most.

PipeDiver is a best-in-class solution that leverages nearly two decades of experience to simplify and streamline pipeline inspections. The tool identifies and locates pipe wall distress, including:

• Internal and external wall loss in steel, ductile iron, and cast iron pipe
• Broken wire wraps in prestressed concrete cylinder pipe
• Broken bar wraps in bar-wrapped pipe

Acoustic and video inspection provide additional data on potential operational and integrity threats, such as leaks, gas pockets, debris, features, and changes in pipe properties.

Utilities receive a comprehensive report of inspection results with structural engineering analyses showing current pipe integrity and forecasting future serviceability. View all inspection results geospatially for another layer of insight into the causes and consequences of integrity threats. Xylem also provides dig sheets to help utilities precisely locate and repair problematic pipe segments.

See the PipeDiver data sheets under documentation & tools for more information on technology operating conditions and system specifications.

Powerful insights, low operational effort

The PipeDiver platform provides pipeline owners with the best combination of data quality, location accuracy, and ease of deployment. The ability to navigate inline valves as well as sharp bends and tees enables this platform to inspect pipelines with little to no disruption in service. The PipeDiver platform can inspect concrete and metallic pressure pipelines 16 inches (400 mm) in diameter and up. The tool is launched and extracted through existing access points, reducing the civil work required prior to an inspection.

Xylem has collected thousands of miles of pipeline inspection data using PipeDiver technology. This operational experience ensures quality project management and professional inspection delivery.
