Live Gas Service Line Inspections
ULC Technologies works with some of the largest gas networks to conduct live gas service line inspection services; delivering detailed reporting and real-time video.
Our inspection services support pinpointing issues for repairs or replacement programs, mapping out features along the service and identifying material changes. The information obtained from our live gas service line inspection services eliminates costly guesswork, eliminates unnecessary excavations and prioritizes maintenance activities.
Comprehensive Pipeline Integrity and Visual Inspection Data
Verify PE Pipe Work
Our crews can verify
PE pipe work across all
colors and brands of
PE. We can identify and
locate fusions in support
of contractor QA/QC
programs.
Identify Copper
The presence of copper
materials are considered
a risk in the industry. Our
trained field crews are
easily able to identify
characteristics in copper
material to assist in
replacement efforts.
Locate Transitions
Our crews can pinpoint
couplings and fittings to
identify where different
pipe materials begin and
end in support of integrity management.
Identify Steel
The inability to differentiate copper and steel services can lead to unnecessary, disruptive excavations. Our crews can easily identify characteristics of steel pipe.
Map Out Gaslight Tees
Our experienced field
crews are able to identify
and pinpoint old gas light
tees to support integrity
management and
mapping efforts.

What We Provide
Enhanced Video Quality
The high definition camera delivers in-pipe intelligence up to 160ft out from the riser valve and can easily traverse through common valves and fittings. Data delivered by our teams’ inspection services enable the identification of different pipe materials such as PE, Copper and Steel, in addition to supporting mapping efforts and verifying features such as fusions, fittings and gas light tees.
No-Blow Entry Method
Our service line inspection systems enter services up to 60psi using a custom no-blow launch tube. Our launch methods adapt to your services using a variety of industry standard fitting and valve combinations. ULC’s highly trained and operator qualified technicians install the no-blow launch tube directly to the riser valve at the meter set.
Experienced Field Crews
Our field crews bring years of experience and expertise in live gas distribution inspections including over 35 operator qualifications for inspection work alone. This background enables our teams to deliver high-quality assessments, feature identification, accurate reporting and detailed mapping.
Detailed Reporting & Data
In addition to viewing the inspection in real-time, inspections can be recorded and saved as digital media to keep on record and share. Crews can also provide written reports, breaking down the inspection in detail, including any features or anomalies in the pipe as well as their location.

Hear From Real Customers
Clint W.
Before we excavate for replacement of Aldyl-A pipe, we always call ULC to help us avoid third party damages in the field. We won’t dig until ULC marks the main using their long range cameras. Their marks are spot-on, which means fewer holes in the street for our community.
Brett Fisher
Before we brought in ULC, we had to rely on old records and some of the curb lines have changed or streets have widened, making it challenging to locate the stubs. In-Pipe Locating is a good program to bring in to help us locate the stubs and possibly prevent damages when we’re installing our new gas main.
