Mainline Cutting & Grinding System

73

Van-Based Systems

The van must be equipped with a PC

The lateral detector software must be

installed

Lateral Detector

Mainline Cutting & Grinding System

Can be extended with a lateral detector

To locate laterals after relining

74

Van-Based Systems

Lateral Detector – The Basic Problem

Laterals are not always indicated by a characteristic bulge in the

liner.

75

Van-Based Systems

Measurement – State of the Art, Problems

Before installation of the liner:

Precise measurement of the position of the branch sewer with a surveyor's tape, estimation of the angle

Ideally before and after installation of the liner by the same team

After installation of the liner:

Repeated, very accurate measurement

Problem with accuracy:

With DN100 branch sewers, accuracy to +/-50 mm is required

The angle must also be very accurate

Problems: inaccurate readings, no reference points for

measurements, recording errors, inaccurate tape measures

This leads to expensive drilling errors (repairs, penalties for non-

performance...)

76

Van-Based Systems

Lateral Detector – Functionality

Electro-magnetic measurement system with an antenna

The lateral detector module is guided along the pipe wall by

means of the cutting and grinding robot

The device is panned without contact to the pipe wall

The device advances and is panned again

The measurement lines are assembled into an image (in

real time)

The centre of the branch sewer is identified and a hole is

made by the robot

Van-Based Systems

Lateral Detector – New Working Procedure

The section report is imported (rough position of the lateral)

The measurement is performed automatically

The operator checks and confirms the middle of the lateral

The robot moves automatically to the middle point and makes a

hole in the liner

Later on, the lateral is completely reinstated

80

Van-Based Systems

Lateral Detector – Advantages

No inspection required directly before rehabilitation

The work can be done by different teams

Cost-effective, time-saving, as laterals that show up clearly

(bulge) do not have to be scanned

Drilling errors are avoided

Laterals can also be detected without the section report

Also possible if there is water in the lateral
