EddyVision: Week 1 is complete with 4 more weeks to go on our 34km Talla Aqueduct inspection for Scottish Water.
The amazing Platypus inspection rig is designed, built and managed by our partners at Abyss Solutions.
With LiDAR above the water and Sonar below the water, it also carries lighting and 6 cameras for detailed 360 degree images of walls, floor and ceiling. The Platypus self centres with laser navigation off the walls and has motors for forwards and backwards motion to counter-act variations in flow on different sections of the aqueduct.
Watch this week's short
episode here to see footage of the Platypus in action.
