Pure Technologies to inspect water pipelines in Toronto suburb

International asset management technology and services company Pure Technologies has received a four-year, $10.9m contract to provide inspection services for critical water pipelines in York, Ontario.

The company will conduct condition assessments for pipelines critical to the delivery of water to municipalities within the region. It will also provide inspection and engineering services that are necessary to optimise the proactive rehabilitation work planned by the client. The engineering services will provide actionable information to the region regarding its pipeline assets.

Pure Technologies’ services will be helpful to identify potential sources of failure for over $700m worth of the region’s major water pipelines.

Pure’s PipeDiver and SmartBall multi-sensor inspection technologies can be deployed into live pipelines, avoiding costly shutdowns as well as service disruptions. The company used other technologies, including its robotics equipment, when it worked on York’s asset management programme.

York Regional Council is responsible for production, treatment, storage and transmission of water to its nine area municipalities.

Pure Technologies has developed patented technologies for inspection, monitoring and management of critical infrastructure around the world.
