In the grand framework of smart city, we pay attention to every corner and every detail of the city. However, underground pipelines, the "lifeline of the city", are often overlooked. These various types of pipes and cables buried deep in the ground, such as gas pipes, heat pipes, drainage pipes, telecommunications cables, etc., carrying the important task of urban operation, as if the city's "blood vessels".
In the process of history and urban planning and construction, the detailed records of underground pipelines are not complete, which brings many problems to urban planning, construction and management. As a key means to supplement and improve the pipeline data, underground pipeline detection is gradually being emphasized.
In the past, underground pipeline detection relied on the measurement of existing pipelines and the completion measurement of new pipelines, but this method is inaccurate and inefficient. With the progress of science and technology, physical exploration technology has been widely used in underground pipeline detection, and a variety of detection instruments have come into being, which make the detection process more convenient, fast and accurate.
Pipe Cable Locator, such as Pipe Cable Locator and Geo-Radar, mainly utilize electromagnetic induction principle or high frequency electromagnetic wave reflection technology to detect the direction, depth and positioning of underground pipelines. They can accurately locate metallic pipelines, such as natural gas steel pipes, water pipes, etc. For non-metallic objects such as plastics, geo-radar can be used for detection. This radar equipment is like a wheelbarrow. By continuously transmitting high-frequency electromagnetic waves and receiving reflected waves, it can show the location of underground objects on a computer screen.
In addition to the detection of underground pipes, the detection of underground pipe leaks is also crucial. Sound sensors are the key equipment in this process. By laying down sensors along the pipeline, receiving the time difference between the sound of water or gas leakage arriving at the sensor, the location of the leak can be accurately deduced, providing an accurate basis for timely maintenance.
With the comprehensive promotion of the smart city, the importance of underground pipeline detection will become increasingly prominent. This is undoubtedly a huge development opportunity for the detection instrument industry. With the increase in demand, the detection instrument industry will also continue to innovate, progress, and promote the continuous development of underground pipeline detection technology, contributing to the prosperity and stability of the city.
