“Nuclear is a specialty niche,” explains Carl Beitner, operations manager at Elite Pipeline Services. As a contractor, “if you haven’t worked in nuclear, you won't work in nuclear without support.

You never know what you'll encounter when inspecting sewers, but ROVVER X's quick-change design ensures you can rapidly adapt to any challenge.

Quality Pipe Cleaning Co. was already in the market for a new sewer inspection crawler that would offer more capability. So when the company secured a long-term contract with a municipality that was using equipment they had been eyeing, the decision became an easy one.
