GPRS Video Pipe Inspection, SiteMap® Ensure Integrity of Airport Stormwater System

• The airport had never had their storm lines inspected and some of their lines were as much as 100 years old
• Existing maps of the infrastructure were incomplete and inaccurate, as they hadn’t been regularly updated
• The facility has experienced sinkholes in a field near its runway due to buried pipes separating and other issues commonly related to aging infrastructure
• The airport’s long-time facility manager was retiring and the facility was about to lose all of his institutional knowledge

‍

• GPRS utilized our NASSCO-certified Video Pipe Inspection services to inspect and map the buried lines
• Remote-controlled rovers equipped with CCTV cameras and sondes captured detailed photo and video evidence of the system’s condition, while simultaneously allowing for the mapping of the lines from the surface utilizing an electromagnetic locator
• A NASSCO-compliant report, and GPS map were created detailing the condition of the stormwater system
• This data was uploaded into GPRS’ SiteMap® application for future use

• By locating and mapping the buried stormwater lines, GPRS helped ensure that planning for future improvement and maintenance projects could be completed efficiently and without damaging this existing infrastructure
• The accurate, complete map of this system, stored inside SiteMap®, will help mitigate the risk of subsurface damage and soil/groundwater contamination during all future projects
• The NASSCO-compliant VPI report detailed numerous defects and issues within the system that the airport can now plan to repair before they can cause catastrophic issues to operations
