About us

Founded: September 2001

Offices: Schelle, Belgium (HQ)Evergem, Belgium (Assembly)Vancouver, Canada

Main activity: Development of Gyroscopic Pipeline Mapping Systems for all Utility Infrastructures.

System range: 32mm+

Inertial measurement systems explained

• Gyroscopic measurement systems contain a selection of inertial sensors including gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers.

• Together these sensors form an Orientation Measurement Unit (OMU)

• The OMU is carefully calibrated to align sensors

Inertial measurement systems explained

• The OMU is positioned inside the pipe and aligned as accurately as possible with the direction of the pipe.

• The OMU is then moved through the pipe from entry to exit point.

• The sensors record changes in:– X direction– Y direction– Z direction– Roll position

• Sampling occurs up to 800 Hz.(800 samples per second)
