System@ (Arrayed Inductive Receiver System@) facility locating solutions for <br />deep and submerged pipe installations. <br /> <br />< ] <br /> <br />The AIR. System@ employs an arrangement of 48 electromagnetic channels to develop and produce a <br />highly accurate, three-dimensional image of submerged or deeply buried pipe facilities. Such facilities must <br />either be conductive or contain a conductive element such as a tracer wire, bonding wire or Cathodic <br />protection grid. The A.I.R. System@ senses and maps the fluctuations in the magnetic field produced when <br />a signal or current is induced over the facility or its conductive element. The AIR. System@ converts the <br />resulting signals into an image form depicting an accurate horizontal and vertical representation of the <br />facility's location. <br /> <br />I I <br /> <br />I 1 <br /> <br />I A recent electric power transmission project in Florida avoided certain catastrophe by employing <br />the A.I.R. System@ prior to directional drilling. An existing 16", 1 080psi high-pressure, trans-state <br />gas delivery main directly in the drill path was located and avoided, saving lives and property. <br /> <br />. , <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />r 1 <br /> <br /> <br />The AI.R. System@ has mapped facilities 35' and <br />more below the surface, through all types of soil and <br />groundwater conditions, including groundwater with <br />high salinity content (salt water). Critical facilities out <br />of the effective range of ground penetrating radar and <br />traditional electromagnetic instruments, and well <br />beyond the effective reach of vacuum potholing, can <br />now be located and mapped with never before <br />realized accuracy. <br /> <br />I I <br /> <br />, J <br /> <br />A recent study commissioned by the Office of <br />Pipeline Safety, provided dramatic results and <br />showcased the promise of future AIR. System@ <br />location and mapping efforts. The technical staff of <br />MPS3D is working closely with the R & D staff at <br />Witten Technologies towards incorporating A.I.R. <br />System@ capabilities into our next generation Radar <br />Tomographylll> systems. The AIR. System@ is <br />currently available as a stand-alone service and can <br />compliment any of our other service offereings. <br /> <br />Proposer: Craig A.
