PRX Live Gas Main Inspection System
Built in Collaboration with Gas Utilities, for Gas Utilities
Our PRX Live Gas Main Camera Inspection Systems have been an invaluable resource for some of the largest gas utilities to assist with addressing damage prevention, water intrusion, unlocatable PE and other issues involving gas distribution networks. We have built the most comprehensive and innovative live gas main camera systems which are designed from the ground-up to provide gas utilities with the highest quality, most cost effective and reliable pipeline inspection possible.
The use of our patented PRX inspection camera systems have proven to provide significant cost savings, improved safety, increased efficiency and higher customer satisfaction by reducing the amount of costly guesswork and unnecessary excavation when locating pipeline features or resolving poor pressure issues.

USE Cases
What the PRX Cameras Support
Identify, Inspect & Locate Features
Utilities have an increasing need to identify and inspect features in gas mains. ULC’s crews provide detailed video and mapping of features such as couplings, stub services, tees and valves. From within the gas main, our camera and crawler systems can deliver a detailed visual assessment of PE pipework to identify imperfections that may not be visible from outside the pipe.
Unlocatable PE
ULC Technologies is helping utilities resolve challenges around unlocatable PE gas mains by providing a means of locating and mapping the main and all features visible from within the pipe. Our crews provide pinpoint accurate markout for excavation crews or accurate utility mapping so utilities can update mapping.
Eliminate 3rd Party Damage
Using our specialized equipment, our teams pinpoint the exact location of your mains along with all pipeline features—even those not traceable by traditional locating methods. The resulting mark out provides the road map construction crews need to ensure project efficiency and safety. ULC manages large scale programs in conjunction with cast iron replacement programs and Aldyl-A replacement programs.
