MAINLINE PIPE INSPECTION

The P350 flexitrax crawler system offers features the simplicity and ease of transport of a pushrod system while delivering the functionality and performance associated with more complex and expensive crawler systems.

Overview
Crawler system operators often face a choice between limited but portable systems, or complex and bulky systems for bigger pipes. Pearpoint’s P350 system, featuring intuitive joystick controls and a remote controlled powered elevator option, delivers a durable, modular system that is capable of centered inspection in large pipes, but is also highly portable for easy transport.

Modular Design - Survey a Wide Range of Pipes and Drains
Tailor the system to meet your requirements. Choose between a cost-effective manual cable drum or an advanced powered drum, each with up to 1000' (305m) of cable. Choose from three interchangeable cameras and two powerful crawlers that are designed to withstand the most challenging sub-surface conditions. A wide choice of wheels, elevators and tires optimize the downhole equipment to suit the pipe network being surveyed. Compatibility with the P340 flexiprobe pushrod enables operators to work in pipes as small as 1¼” (32mm) in diameter, while the system elevators and lighthead enable compliant surveys in pipes up to 36” (900mm) in diameter, and plenty of lighting to go larger.

Simple to Operate in the Field
Intuitive joystick control over crawler and camera functions and dedicated one-touch controls make the P350 system easy to use, and lets you drive any drum, crawler and camera combination. A full PC-style keyboard makes rapid reporting easy – and provides shortcuts to directly access advanced digital features. The command module also provides Mimic® display – an on-screen tool that indicates where the system camera is pointing, and provides a simple way to direct its movement.

Comprehensive Reporting with Advanced Tools
The P350 command module offers a customizable built-in reporting system, capable of creating and exporting detailed MSCC5 compliant drain or inspection chamber survey reports. The integrated sensitive inclinometer and the multi-frequency sonde allow users to map pipeline topography easily and efficiently. Use the HTML report creator or XML output capabilities of the command module to document all your work, on site with no need to use a PC or laptop on site. When used with compatible Laser Scanning software, the P350 Laser Profiler accessories provide operators with detailed pipe measurements such as deformation, internal diameter and expected capacity simplifying tasks like adoption or pre/post rehabilitation surveys. The variable laser profiler can project a circular ring in pipes as small as 4” / 100mm, and in pipes over 3’ / 1m diameter from a single device. Laser profilers can be fitted to the P350 Pan and Tilt and Pan, Tilt and Zoom cameras.

Simple, Fast Service and Maintenance
The P350 flexitrax system is designed and built for continuous operation and easy maintenance. Operators can carry out many common repairs on-site, with no need for complex pressurization or sealing kits. Pearpoint’s global service network provide comprehensive service and repair with rapid turn-around times.

Accessories Enhance Performance
Due to its modular design, the P350 system can be rapidly tailored to suit the needs of specific applications or inspection tasks. The system can be easily upgraded to suit your application, or as new functionality is released. Elevators and wheel options accurately centre the camera in the centre of the pipe or drain being inspected. The pendant controller provides convenient downhole controls during deployment and retrieval. An 850 lumen auxiliary lighthead provides additional lighting for large or dark pipes. Abrasive ‘rasp wheels’ provide improved traction in relined or slippery pipe surfaces. Vehicle installation options Pearpoint provide a range of standard fixing kits to facilitate permanent or flexible installation of the P350 system in vehicles. Pearpoint also work alongside a range of approved vehicle fitters to deliver custom fit-outs in vehicles that suit customer’s needs.
