The DuctRunnerTM Technology is a patented gyroscope-based inertial measurement system designed for autonomous recording of positional data of onshore or offshore pipelines. Because the DuctRunnerTM Technology does not rely on on-line communication, such as GPS or tethering, it is ideally suited for underground use, regardless of depth or terrain.
The system output provides an accurate picture of a pipe's 3D location which information is instrumental in a network operator's pipeline intergity program. In addition, several standard diagnostics charts provide specific detailed information. For example, detailed inclination angles are provided to assist flow model calculations in gravity waste water enviroments.
A team of dedicated engineers continuously incorporates field experience into the design and functioning of Reduct’s mapping tools. Because of its compact size, DuctRunnerTM Technology based Pipeline Mapping Systems are deployable in any utility pipe with an inner diameter as of 40mm or more.
The compact design also allows for simple integration of the technology into existing (intelligent) inspection pigs.
The modular design makes the DuctRunnerTM Technology ideally suited for the development of customised applications that meet technical specifications previously not considered possible. Modern testing facilities ensure that critical design specifications are well tested.
