Electro Scan and CD Labs Announce Global Partnership
Electro Scan Inc., a global innovator of leak detection instrumentation, and Swiss-based CD Labs AG, the world’s leading provider of sewer pipeline assessment software, with its leading flagship product, WinCan, has announced a global partnership to offer an integrated solution.
The cooperative agreement, executed by Electro Scan chairman and CEO Chuck Hansen and CD Lab AG general manager Martin Hien, includes development of a custom Electro Scan module, to be added to the suite of WinCan products, able to import, store and display Electro Scan’s patent-pending data downloaded from its Critical Sewers Cloud app. Product features and capabilities are expected to be similar to other WinCan modules, such as its WinCan Laser module. The new Electro Scan Module is expected for release in the first quarter of 2014.
“We are excited to work with such a universally-accepted product, like WinCan,” said Hansen. “I’ve been watching WinCan, with amazement, for many years and am delighted to see their product evolve into such a feature-rich solution to manage wastewater assets.”
“We are delighted to be expanding our product library to include Electro Scan,” said Hien. “Chuck [Hansen] and his team have done a great job adding a new level of data to our industry. Combined with CCTV and laser profiling data, our customers will have an unprecedented decision tool at their fingertips to manage their aging infrastructure.”
“The addition of Electro Scan further solidifies WinCan’s leadership as a key decision support system to help manage wastewater assets,” said Pipeline Analytics Inc. business manager Mike Russin. As CD Lab’s exclusive distributor for WinCan products in North and South America, Pipeline Analytics will be supporting the new partnership with implementation services and training.
CD Lab AG, headquartered in Murten, Switzerland, designs, develops, and markets the world’s leading pipeline inspection software, WinCan. Founded in 1990, the company specializes in the inspection and administration of wastewater infrastructure having more than 6,400 licensed installations, translated into 46 different languages, supporting 50 different CCTV inspection standards, and sold through more than 80 resellers worldwide.
Electro Scan products are designed and developed in accordance with ASTM Standard 2550-06 to accurately identify, locate and measure an estimated peak rate of infiltration from defects in sewer and stormwater pipes. In addition to assessing existing non-conductive pipe materials (e.g. asbestos cement, brick, clay, plastic, resin lining, reinforced concrete, etc.), Electro Scan is able to certify point repairs or lining projects as “leak-free.”
