Profiler3D by RedZone Robotics is a fourth-generation, multi-sensor inspection (MSI) system designed for comprehensive assessment of large-diameter gravity sewers and pipelines. Built on two decades of industry expertise, Profiler3D combines structured light LiDAR, sonar profiling, and multiple synchronized high-definition cameras to deliver the highest resolution 360° virtual video and photogrammetric digital twins in the industry. The system operates on floating or wheeled platforms, accommodating pipe diameters from 18 inches to over 204 inches, and can inspect up to 20,000 feet in a single deployment. Profiler3D’s advanced sensors provide precise, quantitative measurements of pipe geometry, corrosion, ovality, debris, and alignment, supporting both above- and below-water data collection. All inspection data is stored onboard and can be uploaded to RedZone’s cloud-based platform for analysis, visualization, and reporting. The system delivers industry-standard outputs, including PACP-compliant reports, and is designed to support informed maintenance, rehabilitation planning, and regulatory compliance for municipalities and utilities.
