Jábega: Real-Time Pipe Inspection Technology
CCTV and Acoustic Inspection for Large-Diameter Water Pipelines
Discover Jábega, Aganova’s advanced pipe inspection technology for real-time visual and acoustic diagnosis inside pressurized water pipelines.
Jábega is a tethered CCTV and acoustic pipe inspection technology designed to provide real-time, high-resolution information from inside large-diameter water pipelines. Equipped with an HD camera, hydrophone, LED lighting, and fiber-optic connection, the system allows operators to directly observe and locate leaks, corrosion, sediment, air pockets, unauthorized connections, and other internal anomalies.
Guided through the pipeline while it remains in service, Jábega supports targeted inspection of critical sections without extensive excavation or supply interruption. The visual and acoustic information collected strengthens pipeline integrity assessment and helps utilities make better-informed maintenance decisions.
Why Choose Jábega for Real-Time Pipeline Inspection?
Jábega is designed for utilities that need direct visual confirmation of conditions inside a pressurized pipeline. Unlike external inspection methods, it allows technical teams to view and listen to what is happening inside the pipe in real time, providing detailed evidence for anomaly diagnosis and targeted intervention planning.
The system is particularly valuable when specific areas require further investigation or when operators need to visually verify anomalies identified through previous inspections.
Key Features of Jabega
Jábega combines visual, acoustic, and positioning capabilities within a single pipe inspection technology. Its key features include:
High-definition visual inspection:
An HD color camera and LED lighting provide real-time images of internal pipeline conditions.
Anomaly detection:
Corrosion, sediment accumulation, air pockets, particles, and illegal connections.
Smooth, precise navigation:
Bidirectional control and the ability to stop at points of interest.
No service interruption:
Operates in pressurized pipelines without impacting supply.
Accurate geolocation:
Real-time location mapping of detected issues.
Effective coverage:
Up to 1,000 meters of inspection per insertion in pipelines from DN400 to DN1600.
Integrated
audio:
Microphone capability up to 24 kHz to detect invisible leaks and enhance visual diagnosis.
Jábega and Nautilus: Complementary Inspection Technologies
Jábega can be used independently for targeted visual and acoustic diagnosis or as a complement to Nautilus inspections. While Nautilus efficiently collects data over long pipeline sections, Jábega provides real-time visual confirmation and detailed examination of specific points of interest.
Together, both technologies offer utilities a more comprehensive pipeline inspection process, combining broad in-line assessment with targeted visual and acoustic evidence.
