SewerVUE

What SewerVUE does

SewerVUE Technology Corp. is a Coquitlam, British Columbia-based company that designs, manufactures, and operates multi-sensor inspection platforms for pipeline condition assessment. Its core offering is the patented Pipe Penetrating Radar (PPR) technology, which directs electromagnetic waves through non-ferrous pipe walls to quantify remaining wall thickness, reinforcement cover, delamination, and external void formation — measurements conventional CCTV cannot produce. The platform integrates PPR with HD CCTV, 3D LiDAR, profiling sonar, and ultrasonic thickness testing on single-deployment crawlers (Surveyor Robot), floats (MPIS Float), submersible ROVs, and asbestos-cement-specific scanners (ACPS), with a Black Box add-on enabling third-party crawlers to collect MSI data. Proprietary DataVUE software and a 4-in-1 Viewer fuse and visualize the sensor streams in real time, supporting outputs such as PACP-compliant CCTV reports, intensity/Snakeskin charts, 3D point clouds, and Virtual Mandrel collision analyses for slip-liner rehabilitation planning.

The company generates revenue through four streams: outright sale of inspection platforms, short-term equipment rental, long-term equipment financing, and inspection services delivered by its own field crews. Customers are primarily municipal water and wastewater utilities, engineering consultants, and hydroelectric operators (e.g., BC Hydro) across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The company claims 300+ completed projects, 150,000+ metres of pipe inspected, and 1,000+ municipalities served. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; rentals often serve as a pathway to eventual capital purchase. Since 2025, SewerVUE has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NameSilo Technologies Corp., a TSX Venture-listed company that expanded into adjacent technology sectors after eliminating its debt and reporting record FY2025 revenue of approximately $65.5 million.

Revenue model

1. Inspection Equipment Sales: SewerVUE manufactures and sells its multi-sensor inspection platforms (Surveyor Robot, MPIS Float, ACPS, Submersible ROV, Black Box) directly to municipalities, utilities, and engineering consultants. Platforms are available for outright capital purchase.
2. Equipment Rental: Short-term rental options for inspection platforms. Many customers start with a rental deployment on a real project before making capital purchase decisions. This lowers the barrier to first use and drives eventual purchase.
3. Equipment Financing: Long-term financing options for platforms. Provides an alternative to outright capital purchase for municipalities and organizations with multi-year capital planning cycles.
4. Inspection Services: SewerVUE conducts condition assessment inspections for clients using its platforms. Services include large-diameter pipe inspection, penstock assessment, underwater and dam inspections, small-diameter pipe inspection, man-entry inspections, external non-destructive inspection, and void detection. Data is delivered in quantitative reports suitable for rehabilitation design and regulatory submissions.

Core offering

SewerVUE manufactures, sells, rents, and operates multi-sensor pipeline inspection platforms that combine patented Pipe Penetrating Radar (PPR), HD CCTV, 3D LiDAR, and profiling sonar on tracked and floating remotely operated vehicles. The company delivers quantitative condition assessment of large-diameter, small-diameter, submerged, and asbestos cement pipelines for municipalities, utilities, engineering consultants, and mining/hydroelectric operators, producing survey-grade reports for rehabilitation planning and regulatory submissions.

Product overview

SewerVUE offers a modular platform architecture centered on multi-sensor inspection (MSI) technology that integrates Pipe Penetrating Radar (PPR), HD CCTV, 3D LiDAR, and profiling sonar on unified deployment platforms. The product portfolio includes four inspection platforms: the 5th Generation Surveyor Robot (tracked crawler for 21-60" pipes), MPIS Float (for flowing mains 18"+ without bypass pumping), Asbestos Cement Pipe Scanner (for small-diameter 250-450mm pipes), and Submersible ROV (for submerged pipes 13.5"+). Supporting products include the Black Box add-on for existing crawlers, Tether Management Winch, and DataVUE sensor-fusion software. Reporting products include 4-in-1 Viewer, Intensity/Snakeskin reports, Virtual Mandrel collision analysis, 3D Point Cloud deliverables, and PACP-compliant CCTV reporting. Custom Solutions are available for non-standard pipe sizes or access conditions.
