Hi,

I posted this in the water disposal & treatment forum but I haven't heard anything yet so I thought I'd try over here...

Does anyone know of any NDT technologies for inspecting ACP/PVC water or sewer force mains that don't require bypassing? I'm aware of acoustic methods for DI and CI but I can't seem to find anything for non-ferrous pipes.

Thanks!
