It's Saturday evening, the last of three operating days scheduled for processing the job on the A8. Martin Eisenring is satisfied with the progress of the inspection on the section between Merklingen and Dornstadt, which has not yet been released for traffic. There, he inspected the 4.8 km long pipeline network, which starts with a nominal diameter of DN 300 and ends with DN 800. For this purpose, approximately every 6th manhole was accessed in order to insert the IBAK ARGUS 5 pan, tilt and rotate camera and the camera tractor into the sewer. The powerful drive of the high performance IBAK T 86 camera tractor enables even long distances of pipe to be negotiated. "We were able to utilize the entire cable length of the KW 505. After 500m, the tractor was set down in the manhole and only the cable was retracted. That saved time!" explains Martin Eisenring. Thanks to the ROTAX mechanism, the camera image from the IBAK ARGUS 5 always remains erect and non-reversed, even when the camera head is panned, tilted or rotated, so that the viewer can orient himself without any problems.

While the six-lane expansion of the federal motorway continues, the inspection job has been completed. The truck has already successfully mastered 600 operating hours of sewer inspection. "Since it was collected in mid-September, the vehicle has been in use every day," Martin Eisenring elaborates. For the successful family business, the new acquisition has already proven its worth, so that another vehicle with this equipment is being planned. To optimize work processes, Martin Eisenring will doubtlessly have another new vehicle tuning idea in mind.
