Condition Assessment of Large Diameter Pipes: The MAC System
The MAC system allows testing the condition of large diameter pipes. It is designed to perform several non-destructive tests that are sufficient to assess both the condition of the pipe and the surrounding soil. During the presentation the system and its applications will be discussed, alongside with IKT LinerReport which is a valuable tool when considering pipeline renovation.
