Investigation possible up to a maximum of 20 km at once! A technology that moves a sensor-equipped ball through the pipe with continuous water flow to detect leak points and air pockets.
The "Smart Ball System" is a system that detects "leak location identification" and "leak volume estimation." A smart ball equipped with various devices moves through the pipe due to water flow, recording the conditions inside the pipe with acoustic data and waveforms. Additionally, the tracking device of the smart ball allows for real-time tracking and recording of the smart ball's position within the pipe, integrating the data for confirmation. [Applications] ● Investigation of pipelines that require inspection under continuous water flow ● Investigation of pipelines where ground or external noise is a concern ● Investigation in areas where excavation is impossible, such as under roadways or buildings ● When wanting to inspect pipelines including water bridges, crossings, and vertical pipes all at once ● When wanting to investigate not only leaks but also air pockets

basic information
【Features】 ● Capable of detecting multiple leakages in a single survey ● Can survey up to 20 km ● Surveys can be conducted with continuous water flow ● Less susceptible to noise from above-ground pipes, allowing detection of even minor leaks ● Can survey beneath structures under roadways, which was previously difficult ● Vertical pipes such as aqueducts and siphons can be moved as long as the flow rate is above 0.5 m/s ● Leakage volume can also be estimated by conducting simulated leakage tests

【Purpose】 ■ Investigation of pipelines that require inspection without interrupting water supply ■ Investigation of pipelines that are concerned about noise from the ground or outside the pipe ■ Investigation in areas where excavation is impossible, such as under roadways or buildings ■ When wanting to inspect pipelines, including water bridges, crossings, and vertical pipes, all at once ■ When wanting to investigate not only leaks but also air pockets
Company information
Since its establishment, our company has played a role in national construction, primarily focusing on the "ground improvement field" with our unique grouting method. Subsequently, in response to the changes in social infrastructure development, we have refined our technologies to adapt to the needs of the times and, at times, acquired new ones to expand our business scope. As a result, we have now established three main pillars: "ground improvement business," "slope disaster prevention business," and "pipeline business."
