The PipeScanner allows you to perform comprehensive pipeline condition assessments in a flash. Whenever, wherever you want. It gives you rapid access to all the insights you seek into your water network’s current and future condition.
This smart inspection tool is compact and easy to use. Inspect pipelines from the outside without cutting or demolition work. Perform high-quality condition assessments in a flash.
Do It Yourself (DIY)
With our smart inspection tools, you can manage your own condition assessments. Both the planning and the implementation. We use internal competition to challenge users to produce better assessments. Engagement guaranteed!
All insights within a day
PipeScanner measurement data is transmitted to Acquaint’s Cloud Environment automatically thanks to the Acquaint upload tool. The data is quickly analysed. You gain access to all the insights into a pipeline’s current condition within the day.
The perfect solution
by Durk de Vries
“Thanks to the PipeScanner, operation and asset managers gain full control of inspections and condition assessments.
How the PipeScanner works
The PipeScanner allows you to assess the condition wheneverand wherever you want.
What does the PipeScanner inspect?
The PipeScanner allows you to perform external condition assessments of pipelines with diameter ≥ DN50. The PipeScanner is suitable for use with asbestos cement, cast iron, steel and HPDE/PVC pipelines.
What does the PipeScanner measure?
The PipeScanner assures you of comprehensive pipeline condition assessments. The PipeScanner measures wall thickness degradation, leaching, corrosion and deterioration due to H2S.
Improve measurement results through gamification
The more you measure, the more you know. We use internal competition to challenge technicians and field staff to produce better assessments. Engagement guaranteed!
Features
High measurement density
PipeScanner assessments have an accuracy of up to < 1mm.
Comprehensive condition assessment
The PipeScanner measures wall thickness, leaching, H2S and corrosion.
Gaming experience
Internal competition ensures motivated users and better measurement data.
Wireless transmission
Measurement data is transmitted to the cloud environment automatically thanks to the Acquaint upload tool.
Quick access to all the data
A dashboard provides you with all the measurement results and insights within the day.
Predict lifetimes
Use PipeScanner measurement data to predict the lifetime of pipelines.
Our Cloud Environment
PipeScanner measurement data can be transmitted to our Cloud Environment automatically. Algorithms and data models analyse the data and convert it into valuable insights.
Our advanced dashboard provides all the insights and overviews you need. Zoom in, zoom out. Focus on KPIs, set threshold values and generate reports.
We analyse the pipeline data using self-learning data models. The more (inspection) data, the more accurate these predictions can be.
You can use the data to set up inspection and maintenance schedules and monitor your water network’s performance.

What are our clients’ experiences?
Multiple water suppliers and water boards already became acquaintedwith the PipeScanner.
Are there any coating thickness/surface preparation requirements for the PipeScanner?
We have no issues with the PipeScanner measuring through layers of paint. A coating layer could be a problem, and therefore we advise removing it prior though measuring.
Does the PipeScanner require full circumference access to the pipe?
Preferably yes. But in practice, this is not always possible due to obstacles. The best thing in these cases is to collect as much data as possible.
Does the PipeScanner require the pipe to be full of water for readings?
No, the pipe does not have to be filled
How long does the exposed area of the pipe need to be?
For planned scans, we typically suggest 1 metre. For unplanned scans, it depends on the exposure itself. Every opportunity to add data aids in the improvement of your replacement model
Is the PipeScanner affected by sediment?
Internal sediment is no issue for the PipeScanner
How many scans could reasonably be performed in a day?
The number of scans depends on the accessibility and the distance between locations. We usually estimate 4-8 locations a day
What happens if there is an air pocket in the pipe?
Air pockets do not matter for the PipeScanner
Can the PipeScanner inspect pipelines while the pipeline is still in operation?
Yes the PipeScanner can inspect a pipeline while it is in operation
