Unmanned and Manned Tunnel Inspection & Mapping

Unmanned and Manned Tunnel Inspection & Mapping

Inspecting tunnels that are inaccessible, hazardous, or unsuitable for human entry requires more than conventional inspection methods. Safety risks, limited visibility, and operational constraints demand advanced, unmanned solutions.

Xpipe provides specialized unmanned tunnel inspection and mapping services, delivering high-quality diagnostic data and precise condition assessment—without exposing personnel to confined or dangerous environments.

Specialized Inspection for Unmanned and Manned Tunnel Environments

Our inspection services are designed for tunnels where manual access is restricted or impossible. Using remotely operated and autonomous platforms, we can safely navigate confined spaces, submerged sections, and structurally sensitive areas while maintaining continuous data capture.

These systems enable comprehensive inspection even in environments with:

  • Limited clearance

  • Water presence or flooding

  • Poor air quality

  • Structural or operational hazards

Advanced Technology for Tunnel Inspection & Mapping

We deploy state-of-the-art remotely operated systems equipped with:

  • High-resolution video cameras for detailed visual inspection

  • Laser profiling and scanning for accurate geometry and deformation analysis

  • Acoustic sensors for defect and anomaly detection

  • Environmental monitoring tools to assess internal tunnel conditions

Together, these technologies create a complete, data-rich picture of tunnel condition.

Integrated Data Capture & Mapping

Our unmanned platforms allow for:

  • Continuous inspection over long tunnel sections

  • Precise mapping of tunnel geometry and alignment

  • Identification of cracks, joint displacement, erosion, or obstructions

All collected data is processed into clear visual outputs, maps, and reports that support engineering analysis and decision-making.

Key Benefits

Safe, Zero-Entry Operations

No human entry into confined or hazardous zones—significantly reducing risk and improving safety compliance.

Accurate Condition Assessment

Combined visual and acoustic mapping delivers reliable insights into structural integrity and operational condition.

High-Efficiency Inspections

Rapid deployment and continuous data capture reduce downtime and operational disruption.

Actionable Reporting

Clear documentation and analysis support:

  • Maintenance planning

  • Rehabilitation strategies

  • Long-term asset management

Tailored Inspection for Every Tunnel

Each inspection is adapted to the unique geometry, materials, and environmental conditions of the tunnel system. Our approach ensures accurate results backed by advanced analytics and expert interpretation.
