Northern Gas Networks featured SynthoCam™ on BBC Humber Look North News dated Thursday 29th October 2009. The news feature highlighted the benefits of their new CCTV SynthoCam™ system in terms of reducing the amount of excavations. Operations Manager for Northern Gas Networks, Adam Stephenson said: "This means fewer trial excavations and more accurate digging. Overall this should reduce the amount of time we need to spend on a job which is great news for road users and residents affected by our work."

The SynthoCam™ system allows Engineers to trouble shoot such as to spot blockages, water problems and connections without having to turn the gas off. SynthoCam™ pinpoints problem areas without having to dig up large areas of road.

Unitied Utilities has recently had a full van fit out with the complete new range of SynthoCam™ systems, allowing them to survey 3" up to 24" metallic mains and also 63mm up to 180mm Polyethylene pipe as shown on BBC Look North. As part of their system they have a pan and tilt camera and a SynthoCam crawler for surveying longer and larger pipework.

Synthotech would like to thank Northern Gas Networks for their continued support in further promoting the SynthoCam range.
