On-Board Analytics
Processes acoustic, pressure, and magnetic sensor data locally during the run. Detects leaks, gas pockets, and structural anomalies in real-time without requiring a tether or live connection.
Autonomous free-swimming spheres detecting micro-leaks in live water mains.
Core Technology
Every component engineered from first principles to deliver uncompromising performance.
Processes acoustic, pressure, and magnetic sensor data locally during the run. Detects leaks, gas pockets, and structural anomalies in real-time without requiring a tether or live connection.
Integrated ultrasonic arrays and 3D magnetometers map pipeline wall thickness, identify micro-fractures, and monitor internal temperature gradients with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Housed in a chemical-resistant polyurethane shell and a liquid-tight aluminum alloy core. Engineered to withstand severe pipeline pressures, turbulent flows, and corrosive fluid environments.
Autonomous Operations
Purpose-built subsystems engineered for long-duration, non-intrusive pipeline exploration.
Utilizes extremely low frequency (ELF) transmitters and integrated acoustic pingers, allowing surface operators to reliably track the sphere's location through dense soil, rock, and thick steel walls.
Powered by a stacked arrangement of high-capacity cylindrical lithium-ion cells with adaptive power management, ensuring continuous, multi-day runtimes for inspecting hundreds of miles in a single pass.
Eliminates the need for complex, heavy launch and receive traps. The compact, modular design allows field teams to deploy and retrieve the tool through standard valve accesses in a fraction of the time.
Field-Proven Benchmarks
Certified performance thresholds across high-pressure transmission and municipal distribution mains.
Acoustic arrays detect micro-leaks and joint weepage below conventional correlator thresholds.
Hydrostatically certified for high-pressure trunk mains and deep aqueduct transmission lines.
Free-swimming spherical geometry navigates valves, tight bends, and varying pipe diameters.
Adaptive power management delivers continuous multi-day runtimes for long-distance audits.
Deploy autonomous acoustic spheres to detect pinhole leaks, assess wall degradation, and prevent pipeline bursts without interrupting drinking water service.
