Advanced Diagnostic & Cleaning Technology
A successful culvert inspection or cleaning operation depends on having the right tools. Our investment in a state-of-the-art fleet gives us the ability to tackle any challenge.
Robust crawler camera units form the backbone of our visual assessments, while specialist float rafts allow us to survey submerged pipes. For engineering-grade analysis, our laser profilers create detailed 3D models to detect subtle deformities.
When it comes to culvert cleaning, our combination JetVac tankers deliver unmatched power, using industrial-strength vacuums to extract heavy debris and high-volume water jets to flush the structure clean.
