The SL-RAT consists of two calibrated components: an acoustic Transmitter (TX) and a Receiver (RX). The TX is placed at one end of the pipe and sends sound to the RX at the other end. The RX analyses the sound it receives to determine whether any blockages exist in the pipe. The entire process takes less than three minutes per pipe, providing real-time insights into the pipe’s condition.

SL-RAT inspection data allows for focused cleaning efforts and pre-maintenance inspections that reduce costs going into a project. This tool also proves useful for quality assurance checks after cleaning or for a quick blockage assessment.

SL-RAT inspection data helps streamline maintenance by allowing crews to focus cleaning efforts where they are needed most, reducing overall project costs. It also serves as an effective quality assurance tool after cleaning, ensuring that sewer lines are free of obstructions, or as a quick pre-maintenance check to assess any blockages.
