Access & Operation.

What a survey crew needs on site — access points, time, and the people it takes to run a K-series inspection.

What access points does the crawler need?

A single entry point with a clear opening of roughly 300 mm or more is enough for most K-series units. The crawler is lowered in on a winch or landing frame, so the pipe does not need to be dry or man-entry rated.

How long does a typical survey take?

A 100 m line with a single access point typically takes 30–60 minutes on site including setup, inspection and retrieval. Longer or heavily blocked lines take longer; we confirm an estimate at quoting stage.

Do we need a crew with special certification?

No confined-space certification is required because nobody enters the pipe. The control unit is designed for one operator, and we provide hands-on training and an operating manual with every unit.
