The site we're stood on here today is a trunk mains scheme on Lee High Road, which
Thames Water are looking to replace. We had a severe burst here back in 2016
which caused the extensive flooding just a half a mile down the road from where
we stood today. We've got total of 4,000km of trunk mains in
London and Thames Valley - some need repair, some don't. We're here trying out
new technology to help identify where the defects are in the mains. The very
part we're standing on I think dates back to 1890. It was a great design 130 years ago
but as London's needs have changed, as well as regular wear and tear, their need
for a replacement becomes apparent. Our expert teams are always looking to
undertake condition assessments of the pipe to try and fully understand of how
the network is. Part of those works are often very invasive and can involve lots
of digging up of the the road surface. In Central London that can be very
problematic. We will therefore look to trial new innovative technologies such
as we're trialing today which allows us to insert this scanner unit that you see
behind us. When we put that into the ground you can actually survey up to
1,500 metres of pipe in one hit so rather than having to dig up the road on
multiple occasions, we have this one hit of insertion pipe condition assessment.
This unit has propulsion units on one end, it allows it to swim up a full main
and it drags behind it a scanning unit which is actually an ultrasound
units, so as this unit goes down the pipe it is consistently scanning along a
linear process, a full 360 degrees in the pipe. This should pick up any sort of
pits or corrosion that the pipe has experienced and allow us to fully
understand the condition of the pipe. The way the survey works is it bounces sound
waves off the pipe and depending on the speed at which they come back to the
unit the algorithms within a computer can actually determine the
thickness of the pipe. This is a first in the UK - we're trialing it here as part
of a suite of innovations that we have within SMB and Thames Water. This is the
future of condition assessments of Thames Water's network. It allows us to
fully understand what the residual life of the pipe is, the likelihood of a
burst, all from one insertion point, up to 1.5 kilometers in length.
