B-Sure Tracer Pipe can be precisely located using the
Electromagnetic Pipe Detection System. An EPD requires a
transmitter to directly induce a signal across the utility. The
signal is then detected with a receiver. The transmission
of the signal requires a conductive element and therefore,
the HDPE Piping has been coextruded with a conductive
tracer wire. The Wire is specially designed to withstand
the corrosive and destructive effects of underground
deployment. The tracer wire is designed specifically for the
purpose of detecting buried utilities. A 12 SWG copper wire
is used and a Poly ethylene jacket specially formulated for
under ground use is extruded over it. The Wire and PE Jacket
are co extruded over the HDPE Pipe. During Installation, the
tracer wire is brought to the surface every 500 meters at
access points like Valve boxes, Pump Stations, Pressure
Reducer Stations or other covered access devices. Splices
in the tracer wire shall be connected by means of a split
bolt or compression type connector to ensure continuity.
After installation, the tracer wire shall be tested to verify
continuity of the tracer wire system and a report indicating
continuity shall be submitted. For detection a Transmitter
is connected to the Tracer wire at the Access point. The
transmitter induces a select frequency signal in to the wire.
A Detector tuned to the same frequency is moved on the
ground on the pipe route and this enables precise, meter by
meter location of the underground Pipe
Advantages:
Speedy and Safe Excavation for Maintenance and during
Up Gradation Projects. With this Precise detect ability O&M
becomes efficient and safer as damage to other utilities is
ensured. The heavy penalties associated with damage to
Gas Pipes and Telecom Cabling are also avoided. Pipe line
owners can also mark own line on the ground when Multiple
agencies carry out Digging and save their systems. Jain
Sure Locator Pipes can be located precisely up to a depth
of 5 meters in all types of Soil or concrete.
