Optimizing Manhole Inspections with Portable Manhole Inspection Systems

Presented by: Felix Ladouceur
RinnoVision Inc.
www.rinnovision.com
 9:15 am – 9:55 am EST

The periodic inspection of manholes’ structural integrity is crucial to prevent costly and potentially hazardous damages. However, the traditional method of sending operators in for direct visual inspection can quickly become a big expenditure and also inefficiently allocates resources that are often scarce and required for other important tasks. In order to efficiently integrate a regular manhole inspection program, municipalities need a fast and effective solution that will allow them to perform a full survey of their manhole network while maintaining the impact on their manpower as low as possible.

Felix Ladouceur is in charge of product management, business development, and marketing at RinnoVision. Starting as a physical engineer, then product manager in a non-destructive testing equipment manufacturing company, and then finally owner of a distribution company, he decided to jump all in with RinnoVision after successfully selling their products and wanting to take the company under his lead for the next steps of its promising future.
