We're proud to share the details of our recent collaboration with Goodman Contractors and Drain Doctor on a pipeline inspection project in Silverstream, Lower Hutt. This project showcases the importance of reliable pumping solutions in maintaining infrastructure without disrupting services.


The Challenge of Pipeline Inspections


Drain Doctor needed to conduct comprehensive CCTV inspections on 1,200 metres of pipeline infrastructure. The goal was to assess wear and tear and identify maintenance requirements. Importantly, the pipeline system had to remain fully operational throughout the entire inspection process.


This posed a significant challenge. Maintaining service while performing detailed inspections is no small feat. It requires careful planning and reliable equipment.


Our Solution: Reliable Pumping Infrastructure


Condor was brought in to provide the pumping infrastructure necessary to make this inspection possible. Our team deployed two Atlas Copco pumps to establish two 600-metre pipeline bypasses. This setup ensured uninterrupted flow while Drain Doctor's specialists carried out their detailed camera inspections.


The bypass system worked seamlessly. It maintained system pressure and flow rates throughout the inspection period. This allowed Drain Doctor to thoroughly examine the pipeline condition without any service disruption to end users.

The Results: Successful Completion and Future Insights


The project was completed successfully. Drain Doctor was able to conduct their full CCTV inspection and assess the pipeline's condition. The data gathered will inform future maintenance decisions and help prevent potential failures before they occur.


This type of preventive maintenance is invaluable for infrastructure management. It can save costs and avoid emergency repairs down the line. By acting proactively, we can ensure the longevity of critical infrastructure.


Our Atlas Copco pumps delivered consistent performance throughout the project. They provided the flow rates and reliability needed for extended bypass operations. This reliability is crucial for any civil and construction business aiming to maintain high standards.
