Synthotech Limited
About
Synthotech Limited, headquartered in Harrogate, UK, has been developing innovative engineering solutions for the global utility market for over 30 years, specializing in reducing excavations through in-pipe robotics, CCTV inspection, and leak detection technologies that operate in live pressurized infrastructure. The company serves both gas and water utility sectors, with products that operate in pipes from 25mm to over 300mm diameter at pressures up to 100 barg. Their flagship robotics platform, LeakVISION, uses thermal imaging and machine learning to detect gas leaks inside pressurized pipes, pinpointing leakage at joints and defects to replace inaccurate above-ground bar-holing methods. The SynthoTRAX small robotic vehicle surveys metallic and PE pipes from 250mm diameter upward in live gas up to 2 barg, traveling up to 200m in each direction from each excavation. The GRAID system is a world-first robotic non-destructive inspection device for high-pressure 100 barg gas transmission pipes, operated by National Grid Gas Transmission. The STASS robotic vehicle assesses, surveys, and seals defects in live gas pipes up to 2 barg, while TORS replaces service-to-main connections remotely without excavation. For water applications, Synthotech offers the SynthoCAM H2O PRO live-access camera for inspecting potable water mains up to 10 bar from 25mm diameter, and the FAST PipeMIC 100M semi-rigid in-pipe acoustic leak detector probing up to 100m inside water pipes. The SebaKMT Hydrolux HL7000 provides compact wireless acoustic and gas leak detection for water distribution networks. The WExTech range locates and removes water from live gas pipes while recycling gas back into the network. Synthotech also distributes pipe location tools (CATS, Gennys, vScan) and CCTV drainage inspection systems, and provides comprehensive service, calibration, and training through its SynthoCARE program.
