ASK
Task
Inspect and locate a storm line running parallel to the iconic B&O Warehouse at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland.
PROBLEM
- The client required inspection of approximately 500 linear feet of storm line, along with efforts to locate and isolate leaks in 2-inch irrigation piping by tracing pipe routing and identifying failure points.
- The work took place adjacent to the historic B&O Warehouse, a 1,116-foot-long brick structure built between 1899 and 1905, recognized as the longest brick building on the East Coast.
Solution
- GPRS mobilized to assess the condition of sewer and storm infrastructure in the designated work areas.
- The client opened the main access point to the stormwater line, ensuring all lines were accessible and ready for inspection.
- PACP-, LACP-, and MACP-certified GPRS Project Managers performed CCTV video pipe inspection using the mainline robotic crawler equipped with a high-resolution camera.
- Each pipe segment was documented and evaluated, with findings compiled into NASSCO-certified reports detailing pipe condition, defects, and layout.
- If obstructions were encountered, the team repositioned the crawler and accessed the pipeline from alternate entry points to maximize inspection coverage.
Benefits
- GPRS successfully inspected and documented accessible and obstructed pipeline segments, providing a comprehensive view of system conditions.
- The inspection identified significant deterioration in the downstream section of the storm line, providing the client with critical data for future renovation planning.
- Additionally, GPRS could support irrigation leak detection through acoustic methods, helping pinpoint potential failure points in the system.
- All findings were delivered within the SiteMap® Sewer Layer, where clients can easily view flow direction, defect locations, pipe attributes (material, depth), and access associated photos, video, and NASSCO condition ratings for ongoing asset management.
