Pipe supports
Pipe supports by Reliner® are fully adjustable clamping pipe brackets made of non-corrosive 11 gauge 304 stainless. They securely attach pipes to manhole walls and other surfaces with no protruding hardware and are adjustable to fit irregular surfaces. They are often used with the company's Inside Drop Bowl to eliminate outside drops in sanitary sewers or stormwater drops. The clamps attach to the structure wall with 3⁄8" stainless steel bolts in non-corrosive shields.

Pipe mapping system
The Smart Probe™ from Geospatial Corp. is an autonomous mapping system that can determine, in 3D, the location of any utility pipe with internal diameters ranging from 1.5" to 60". Traveling through a pipeline at up to six feet per second, the probe records 800 angular and linear velocity changes per second along the x, y and z axes. The data acquired by the probe can be stored on a PC or viewed and evaluated in the field, or can be transferred via the Internet for evaluation by anyone, or stored and entered into a GIS/CAD database for future reference.
