Utility locating is the process of locating and marking buried utility lines, including gas and sewer lines, phone cables and others. Operators use locating equipment and sensors to determine the location of utilities, then use markers such as chalk and spray paint to map where utilities are underground. The main goal of locating services is to ensure utility damage prevention.
The City of Roseburg is tucked in southern Oregon’s forested Umpqua River Valley.

Sewer inspection cameras come in all shapes and sizes, depending on their function and the type of pipe they inspect.

Connecticut-based Savy & Sons was growing, and the contractor needed new sewer assessment equipment. It was running a popular brand’s crawlers, but had a longstanding partnership with PRT, Envirosight’s sister company in rehab equipment, which introduced the team to the ROVVER X sewer inspection crawler.
Side-scanning is an inspection technique utilized in the sewer industry to assess pipe condition. Side-scanning cameras have ultra-wide “fish-eye” lenses that capture 360-degrees of a pipe’s wall, running the entire length of the pipe.
Sewer inspections aren’t one-size-fits-all. Some inspections are routine, others are emergency callouts to explore unknown conditions underground. So when it’s time to invest in a new crawler system, it’s important to consider both your current and your future inspection needs for your sewer camera.
