Silver Tip Shark Submersible Pipe Inspection

Product Overview

Silvertip Shark is a battery-powered sonar system designed for high-water-level sewer mains above DN500/20". The system features a propeller-driven design with integrated HD cameras. It requires no dewatering or diversion and uses sonar technology to easily inspect high-water-level pipelines, culverts, accurately identifying defects like cracks, deformations, deposits, and intrusions. The system automatically calculates sediment volumes and generates professional inspection reports.
