Reshaping pipe inspections with SECA

Efficiency and innovation are at the core of underground infrastructure management, and Subsurface Pipe Solutions is setting new benchmarks by embracing cutting-edge tools and technologies from SECA.

Subsurface Pipe Solutions specialises in advanced robotic CCTV inspections and trenchless pipe repairs, offering a comprehensive suite of services, including locating, mapping, condition assessments, and repair recommendations.

With Sewer Equipment Company Australia (SECA) innovative solutions, the company ensures precision and minimal surface disruption in every project.

Using tools like iPek Rovion CCTV systems and the Quick-Lock trenchless repair system, Subsurface provides reliable and efficient solutions to councils, civil contractors, and residential clients across Australia.

“SECA’s range of advanced products aligned perfectly with our needs, offering reliability and cutting-edge technology,” Subsurface Pipe Solutions Managing Director Joseph Rose said.

Key tools driving success

The iPek Rovion robotic crawlers provide high-definition visuals for detailed pipe condition assessments, even in challenging environments. Complementing this is the Quick-Lock repair system, which enables trenchless repairs that not only save time, but reduce the need for excavation.

“These tools not only streamline operations but also ensure consistent, high-quality results for our clients,” Rose said.

Advanced software such as WinCan further enhances data analysis, enabling precise reporting and actionable insights.

A seamless partnership

SECA’s exceptional support and training have been integral to Subsurface Pipe Solutions’ success.

From initial equipment setup to ongoing technical assistance, SECA ensures its clients can maximise the potential of their tools.

The accessibility of equipment through SECA’s Brisbane depot has also helped optimises operations.

Showcasing technology

A recent project at Kingscliff Ambulance Station highlighted the effectiveness of SECA’s equipment. Subsurface utilised iPek CCTV systems to identify and measure minor cracks in stormwater pipes and restored them using the Quick-Lock system. This approach minimised disruption, reduced costs, and completed the project ahead of schedule, showcasing the real-world impact of technology.

Driving efficiency and client satisfaction

The integration of SECA’s tools has transformed Subsurface’s operations, enabling faster project turnarounds and less invasive solutions.

SECA’s “one-stop shop” philosophy allows clients to address all aspects of pipe inspection and repair through a single provider.

Innovation and sustainability

As Subsurface Pipe Solutions plans for the future, the compant aims to expand its use of SECA’s solutions, exploring advancements in trenchless technology and sustainable practices.

“We’re committed to staying at the forefront of the industry,” Rose said.

Staying ahead in trenchless technology

To maintain its industry-leading status,  Subsurface Pipe Solutions participates in international conferences, like the iFat event in Munich, and collaborates with SECA, and further engages in continuous training to enhance its skillset.

Advice to industry peers

For companies considering SECA’s solutions, Subsurface Pipe Solutions advises leveraging its training and assessing specific project needs to maximise efficiency.

“Investing in quality, cutting-edge technology like SECA’s will not only enhance operational performance but also improve customer satisfaction and set you apart in the competitive trenchless technology industry,” Rose said.

With SECA as a trusted partner, Subsurface Pipe Solutions continues to redefine standards in pipe inspections and repairs, delivering innovative and sustainable solutions across Australia.
