Envirosight Underground Visualization

Have you ever dreamed that you could see what was happening in the sewer pipeline while you were running your combination machine or sewer jet cleaner unit? Well there is a way to do just that! The amazing Je tScan f rom Envirosight can let you see if the line is clear without calling out the inspection crew and deployment of a crawler/camera CCTV system. The JetScan is self contained and works from its own battery pack. It records HD video to a zip drive in a waterproof compartment for viewing on any tablet or computer you have available. This video can be viewed immediately after the section of pipe is cleaned!

Ask your Territory Manager

for a demonstration!

Our Oklahoma territory has a Natural Gas Boring Contractor utilizing the newest technology form Envirosight: RVX-SAT. A Rovver X lateral launch system. The RVX-SAT lets you inspect laterals from a mainline, ideal for finding dangerous gas line cross bores and illicit flows. This is exactly what our contractor is using his for; the system allows him to see many issues created during the boring process. The RVX-SAT system integrates with your existing ROVVER X system components, reducing cost and equipment clutter. Best of all, RVX-SAT gives you the range and articulation to inspect where other lateral launch systems can’t.

This is a first for Key Equipment & Supply Co. and we are having great success! Steve Sebastian and Jim Adams came out and helped with the training.

Talk to your Territory Manager about this innovative new system.
