HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PIPE INSPECTION SYSTEM?
Choosing the right inspection camera is o en
preceded by a whole thought process. Not
least, price is an important factor, but it is not
the only one. More important is the choice
of the right pushcable inspection camera for
your applications. You as a professional sewer
inspector or sewer cleaner know perfectly
well which diameters or types of pipes you
inspect most. Accordingly, you choose a camera
inspection system with the right pushcable,
camera head size and which type of monitor suits
you best.
46 JULY 2022
Choosing the right pushcable is
crucial. A flexible cable can handle
more bends but is not very suitable
for inspecting longer distances. A
sti er and thicker pushcable, on the
other hand, is very suitable for longer
distances, but only passes a few light
bends. So it comes down to which type
of installation you inspect the most and
in the SeeSnake line we have them all
available.
Another point is the camera head,
its size, and the spring
combination. SeeSnake
cameras have been
specifically developed to work
in pipes, are extremely robust
and lie in line behind each
other. They are therefore much less likely
to get stuck behind obstacles in the pipe or
behind connection points.
In addition, the SeeSnake camera heads
are all, with a few exceptions, equipped with
TruSense technology. This gives you extra
HDR (High Dynamic Range) video quality and
an inclinometer (TiltSense). The inclinometer
shows you the position of the camera head
in the pipe and can provide you with extra useful
information about the condition of the tube system.
Do you like to work with a separate monitor with
large screen or keyboard, should the monitor be fixed
to the reel or do you like to work with your own tablet
or smartphone? All options are available within the
RIDGID SeeSnake line and moreover, they are and
always will be compatible with each other, no matter
which choice you make today or in a few years' time.

ALTRO HELPS INTEGRATE ART INTO NEW
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL BUILDING
The positive impact of an enhanced environment is incontrovertible in modern
healthcare – sta and patient experience is improved by art; the impact on
wellbeing and outcomes is
significant. So it is fitting that
the new 34,600m2, Gra on Way
Building at the University College
of London Hospital (UCLH)
incorporates more than 100
original pieces of art, printed on
Altro Whiterock Digiclad™ (Custom)
wall sheets and forming part of the
fabric of the building.
Guy Noble is Arts Curator with UCLH Arts and Heritage Programme, and works
to improve patient and sta outcomes through the Arts. He curated the artwork
that features so prominently throughout the new facilities.
“There is a ra of evidence showing how enhanced environments improve
recovery rates for patients,” Guy explains. “Nature and views of nature are
particularly impactful. The themes for the new hospital encompass nature in
many forms. We have looked to artwork to upli , to calm, to distract – this can be
really e ective for people in distressing or worrying situations.”
Guy’s team commissioned more than 100 original pieces of work, covering
3,000 2.
This ambitious art project was made possible through the use of Altro
Whiterock Digiclad (Custom), which is created by reproducing a photographic
image or design on to Altro Whiterock wall cladding, with consistent,
photographic quality. Hard-coat technology provides scratch-resistant properties
for added surface protection.

WATERBLADE PRODUCES SIGNIFICANT
WATER AND ENERGY SAVINGS IN RENTAL
PROPERTY TRIAL
Reducing the
water usage
by 33% in a
property with
a 50% increase
in occupancy.
We believe
this saving was
mostly down to
the Kitchen sink
Waterblade.
By fitting a
separate cold
water filler tap,
the slow filling
property of the
Waterblade is no longer an issue, and the exceptional rinsing performance at
low flow saves significant amounts of water.
The user feedback for this trial was good. While the energy saving from heating
less water in this trial was not monitored, we know it shall also be significant.
Happy to share the full trial report.
