As a continued contributor to Barhale for 15 years , CTS , its survey teams and Cad design office are proud to support Barhale and Thames Water over the coming ’ s years .
Recently CTS Operatives have carried out 55km of trunk sewer and storm tunnel surveys using rafts and remote rovers which were built inhouse to overcome the challenging environments that they were deployed in , from carrying out the surveys we have used the experience gained to fit out a new survey vehicle for shaft and large diameter tunnel inspections .
CTS have designed and adapted survey remote rovers which include using Radio Frequencies converted over fibre optic cable to reach distances up to 1200 meters , we can attach Laser Scanners , High Res digital PTZ cameras and use the fibre cable to control and view the data . We have also successfully evaluated live streaming tunnel inspections directly from site .
We all look forward to working through the Amp 8 period and supporting Barhale with Topographical , GPR , CCTV and tunnel surveys and as always bringing innovative ideas with a focus on Safety and high-quality data .
