Pipeline Inspection
Find Problems Before They Become Emergencies. Document Everything.
You can't fix what you can't see. Whether you're assessing pipe condition for a capital improvement plan, verifying a cleaning job, or running a lateral inspection program, you need camera systems that deliver clear images and reliable data, every time, in every pipe size.
Sound Familiar?
- 50-year-old clay and cast iron mains where you don't know which segments will collapse next winter
- PACP/NASSCO compliance requirements for condition assessment reporting
- Lateral connections you can't inspect without specialized launch systems
- Pipes from 2" to 72"+ that require different camera platforms
- Poor video quality that makes it hard to identify defects accurately
- Expensive truck-mounted systems when a portable setup would work
Equipment That Delivers
- Mainline CCTV crawlers that handle 6" to 72"+ pipe with HD video
- Lateral launch systems to inspect service connections from the mainline
- Push cameras for 2"–12" pipe with fast setup, no crawler needed
- See hairline cracks and joint offsets clearly with pan-and-tilt heads with LED lighting that eliminate the guesswork on defect coding
- Integration with PACP/NASSCO-compliant reporting software
- Portable, truck-mounted, and van-mounted configurations to fit your operation

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CCTV pipeline inspection?
CCTV pipeline inspection uses remotely operated camera crawlers inserted into sewer or storm pipes to capture HD video and identify defects such as cracks, root intrusion, joint offsets, and corrosion. Mainline crawlers typically handle 6- to 72-inch pipe, while push cameras cover 2- to 12-inch lines.
How much does a sewer camera system cost?
Push camera systems for small-diameter pipe start at $5,000–$15,000. Mainline CCTV crawler systems with pan-and-tilt heads range from $30,000 to $80,000. Full truck- or van-mounted inspection systems with lateral launch capability, reporting software, and integrated controls can run $150,000–$300,000+.
What is a lateral launch camera?
A lateral launch camera is a secondary mini-camera that deploys from the mainline crawler into service lateral connections (typically 4–6 inch pipes). This allows operators to inspect residential or commercial connections from inside the mainline without needing separate access at each property.
What is PACP-compliant pipeline inspection?
PACP (Pipeline Assessment Certification Program) is the NASSCO standard for coding and grading pipe defects consistently. PACP-compliant inspection systems integrate with reporting software that assigns standardized defect codes and structural/maintenance grades, which municipalities need for capital improvement planning and regulatory reporting.
CCTV crawler vs. push camera: which do I need?
Push cameras are lighter, faster to deploy, and ideal for 2–12-inch pipes and short inspection runs. CCTV crawlers are motorized, self-propelled platforms required for larger pipe (6–72+ inches) and longer inspection distances. Most municipal programs need both — Brown Equipment Company can configure a system that covers your full pipe size range.
What is 360-degree pipe scanning?
360-degree scanning cameras capture a complete cylindrical view of the pipe interior, generating a digital unfolded image of the entire pipe wall. This technology lets operators measure crack widths, joint gaps, and corrosion depth with far greater accuracy than standard pan-and-tilt cameras.
