}}Electro Scan Inc. is a designer and manufacturer of sewer-scanning devices. The company utilizes electric currents to detect leaks in non-conductive sewer pipes.[1][2] The company is based and Sacramento, California, with additional offices in London, England and Toronto, Canada.[3]

History

Electro Scan was founded in October 2011 by Chuck Hansen in Sacramento, California.[4] In 2012, the Water Environment Research Foundation approved a testing project in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, in which the company used its technology to check non-conductive sewer pipes that had previously been inspected for leaks using other methods.[5] Its technology was utilized by the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati and the Twin City Water & Sewer District, Ohio, to measure leaks in their systems in 2014.[6] In July 2015, the City of San Francisco's Public Utilities Commission ordered an Electro Scan van and equipment to inspect its pipes.[7] That same year, the company's technology was used by the city of Surrey, British Columbia, to address defects in their sewer system that CCTV inspections weren't able to find.[8]

In 2015, Electro Scan Inc. executed a strategic marketing agreement with UK-based WRC plc (Swindon, England), developers of international standards for Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) coding standards, to supply Electro Scan services to British water companies for Pre- and Post-Rehabilitation Pipeline Condition Assessment of pipelines.

In 2019, Electro Scan Inc. was named to the 2019 GovTech 100 list of top government technologies [9].

Technology

The company's electro scanning inspection technology utilizes a low-voltage high-frequency electric current produced by a probe placed inside a non-conductive sewer line to check the 360-degree wall of the pipe for leaks. The probe is able to determine the size of leaks by the amount of electrical current detected outside of the pipes.[10] The data collected is relayed to a nearby truck and then uploaded to Amazon web servers where it is interpreted before being available for review on a company website.[4][11]
