3 New Advancements in Pipe Assessment Inspection Nor Cal PUG June 10, 2014 E.A. Digger Diggs Cues, Director of Business Development

4 FutureScan Pipe Penetrating Radar for -- Void Detection & -- Pipe Inspection

5 Void Detection FutureScan is able to see beyond the Inner Pipe Wall. Voids in the soil outside the pipe wall can be located and repaired.

6 What Types of Analyses can FutureScan Perform? Pipe Anatomy --Void/Utility Detection --Pipe Wall/Liner Thickness --Rebar Measurement --Concrete Degradation --Liner Irregularities --Joint Irregularities --Delamination --Compaction and Bedding --As-Built Drawing Validation --New Pipe Certification --Relining or Rehab Certification

7 FutureScan vs Existing Technologies

8 How does FutureScan add Value? Economical Turn-key Service model Fast operates at 30 ft/minute Contact-less Antenna Seamless GNET integration Standard Analysis for less demanding applications Voids and Anomalies beyond the Outer Pipe Wall Only Premier Analysis for critical applications (additional fees apply) Standard Analysis + Pipe Wall Anatomy Measurements Lower Operating Cost addresses price-sensitive applications Pipe cleaning and de-watering is not required (Pipe Cleaning and De- Watering yields best results, but is not mandatory)

9 What are the Performance Specifications? --18 to 36 inch pipe standard --Down to 15 inch and up to 48 inch Optional(contact factory) --Pipe Types: Non-Ferrous, such as CP, RCP, VCP, ACP, PVC, HDPE, etc. --PCCP for delamination inspection --Radar scans up to 30 ft/min, simultaneous with TV Inspection Degree Pipe Inspection Coverage (requires multiple runs) --Fully Integrated with CUES GNET Assessment Software --Mounts easily to CUES Steerable PipeRanger Transporters --Operates to 50% pipe charge (de-watering recommended for best performance) --Operates in Un-cleaned pipe (cleaning recommended for best performance)

10 What does a FutureScan Operator See in GNET?

11 Standard Analysis Standard Analysis is ideal for non-critical or cost sensitive applications Standard Analysis includes --Radar B-Scan Display within GNET, in Real-Time --Video and Footage Synchronized with Radar Data --Confidence Value (CV) Stripchart, utilizing local data, highlighting regions of interest --Color HeatMap visualization of regions of interest --Observation Entry in GNET, with Radar Context --A GNET report, including all the above, is available immediately at the end of each data run.

12 Standard Analysis Example GNET Report Standard Analysis Void and Anomaly Detection: Algorithms tuned to find differences (i.e. Anomalies) at the Outer Pipe Wall Results Visualization in Two Formats: Heat-Map of variations, with severity displayed via colorization, and Confidence Value (CV) StripChart, with values ranging from 0 (no variation) to 1.0 (significant variation) These visualization tools allow the customer to quickly identify potential problem areas within their system and make informed decisions regarding rehabilitation or repair.

13 Premier Analysis Available for Critical Applications Premier Analysis Includes Standard Analysis plus --HITL expert data interpretation --Customized site survey and materials testing (if necessary) --Additional Non-Real Time Algorithms --Premier Level adds the following analyses (customer directed): --Pipe Wall/Liner Thickness --Rebar Measurement --Concrete Degradation -- Liner and Joint Irregularities --Delamination --Compaction and Bedding Evaluation --As-Built Drawing Verification --Final report customized to client s requirements

14 Premier Analysis Report Examples --VDOT HDPE Report --Ft. Worth Rebar and Pipe Wall Thickness Report --Okeechobee Report

16 Premier Analysis Example Anomaly Highlight

17 Premier Analysis Example Reference Characterization

18 Premier Analysis Example Using Phase Shift for Void Detection

19 Examples of FutureScan Performance In the next few slides, we will illustrate FutureScan performance on some Key Metrics: --Void Detection --Pipe Wall Thickness Measurement --Delamination (e.g. in PCCP) --Rebar Characterization --Bedding Compaction and Homogeneity --Joint Characterization --Surface Scanning

30 Bedding Compaction--Virginia DOT IR&D

31 Joint Characterization Orlando Test Lane IR&D This Joint failure was not built in, but occurred naturally, and was identified independently by the Void Detector. This Joint is Unique, detected by Algorithms. Later found to be an ant nest within joint, which appeared in Radar as a joint without a filler.

32 How does FutureScan Work? Radar transmits narrow UWB Pulses Some of each pulse reflects at layer boundaries, with varying Delay, Amplitude, and Instantaneous Phase Shift. These changes can be used to find voids, measure wall thickness, rebar coverage, soil compaction, etc.

35 Comments Often times Lidar data is obtained inside the joint (beyond the pipe surface), which shows up as corrosion with both large area (%) and high radial linear max(in.). Actual corrosion typically appears gradually and would affect a much larger distance. SOLID FX - SONAR/LIDAR/HDTV Profiling System
