Application of Sewer Borescope in Water Conservancy and Hydropower


In the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering, it is crucial to ensure the safe and stable operation of various piping systems. As an advanced testing equipment, the sewer borescope is gradually playing an indispensable role in the water conservancy and hydropower industry.


First, pipeline detection and maintenance
Water conservancy and hydropower projects involve a large number of water pipelines, drainage pipelines and so on. With the passage of time, these pipelines may appear corrosion, cracks, clogging and other problems. Sewer endoscopes are able to penetrate deep into the interior of the pipeline and clearly photograph the condition of the inner wall of the pipeline through a high-definition camera. Technicians can observe in real time whether the pipes are broken, deformed, and whether there is any accumulation of debris. For example, in the inspection of diversion pipelines of hydropower stations, the endoscope can be used to accurately locate the minor cracks in the pipelines, so as to avoid rupture of the pipelines due to the expansion of the cracks, which affects the efficiency of power generation. In terms of drainage pipes, the location and nature of blockages can be discovered in time through endoscopic inspection, so that targeted cleaning measures can be taken to guarantee the smoothness of the drainage system.


Second, embankment dam hidden danger investigation
Embankment dam is a key component of water conservancy and hydropower projects, and its safety is directly related to the safety of people's lives and properties downstream. Sewer endoscopes can be used to detect the drainage holes and grouting holes inside the embankment dam. By placing the endoscope into these holes, it is possible to check whether there are cracks and cavities in the wall of the holes, as well as whether there are signs of leakage. If hidden dangers are found, they can be repaired in time to prevent serious problems such as pipe surges and seepage from occurring in the embankment dam and ensure the stability of the dam. For example, in some large reservoir dam maintenance, endoscopy to help staff find hidden in the depth of the grout is not dense area, for the subsequent reinforcement treatment provides an important basis.


Third, underwater facilities inspection
There are many underwater facilities in the water conservancy and hydropower project, such as gates, underwater pipeline connection parts and so on. In the past, these parts of the inspection is more difficult, and the sewer endoscope is equipped with waterproof, pressure-resistant and other special devices, you can go deep underwater operations. It is able to clearly photograph the surface condition of underwater facilities to see if there are any problems such as corrosion and looseness. For the inspection of the gate, the endoscope can observe whether there is debris stuck in the gate groove, and whether the sealing part of the gate is intact, to ensure the normal opening and closing of the gate, and then guarantee the normal operation of water conservancy and hydropower projects.


Fourth, save costs and improve efficiency
The use of sewer endoscopy for detection, compared with the traditional excavation detection method, has significant cost advantages. It does not require large-scale excavation work, reducing the cost of manpower, material resources and time. Moreover, endoscope inspection can quickly obtain accurate results, which greatly improves the efficiency of inspection and maintenance. Technicians can quickly formulate a maintenance programme based on the images and data fed back from the endoscope, shortening the downtime of the project and reducing the economic losses caused by equipment failure.

In summary, with its unique advantages, the sewer endoscope has a wide and important application in pipeline detection, dam maintenance, underwater facilities inspection and other aspects of water conservancy and hydropower projects, which provides strong technical support for the safe and stable development of water conservancy and hydropower industry.
