Smart Infrastructure With 3M™

SMART INFRASTRUCTURE

“The infrastructure sector is all about building assets for the country. It is a part of nation building.” A recent study reports that India’s poor infrastructure is the primary roadblock that is holding it from achieving 9% plus growth. Many bottlenecks such as ageing roads and railways, corroding water distribution pipe networks, consumption of limited world class urban infrastructure, disintegration of the existing infrastructure and red tapism still prevail and deter the growth of this sector. India has an enormous infrastructure gap, but it can be bridged by the implementation of smart, strong and sustainable solutions.

We at 3M, through our innovative solutions, endeavour to build robust infrastructure that stands the test of time. Our advanced solutions are designed to resist corrosion and remain impervious to natural calamities. These solutions pledge to bring about a change, causing minimum disruption to citizens' daily lives.

SMART INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS

The 3M™ Smart Infrastructure Solutions are primarily divided into three categories.

a. Locating and Marking Products
b. Infrastructure Solutions for Old Pipelines
c. Infraprotection Solutions

3M™ Dynatel™ Locating and Marking products assist in locating, fault finding, accurate marking, and relocation of buried facilities. They are of great use to companies concerned with ensuring safety, restoring outages, minimizing operating costs and efficiently managing assets.

LOCATING AND MARKETING PRODUCTS

LOCATOR PRODUCT

The following products are utilised to locate underground assets :

ELECTRONIC MARKETING SYSTEM

The Electronic Marking System provides a method for field personnel to locate facilities that they are unable to pinpoint using a normal locator. The three primary applications of this system are:

a. Construction Access
b. Maintenance
c. Avoiding Damage

The tools used in this system are as follows:

NEAR SURFACE

2 ft. depth (RFID Option)
BALL MARKER

5 ft. depth (RFID Option)
DISK MARKER

5 ft. depth (RFID Option)
VAULT MARKER

5 ft. depth
DUCT MAKER

2 ft. depth
MID-RANGE

6 ft. depth
DISK MARKER

8 ft. depth

INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS FOR OLD PIPELINES

A functional community depends on a safe, steady supply of drinking water. One of the biggest obstacle for aging water infrastructures is corrosion and tuberculation. These concerns result in poor water quality, restrict flow and pipe failure. To overcome this challenge, 3M™ Scotchkote™ Pipe Renewal Liner 2400 serves you with a fast, trenchless process for lining pipes in situ, which gives you a time-and-cost-saving way to help keep water flowing.

Scotchkote Liner 2400 is an easy, affordable solution to maintain aging infrastructure – and protect your community. The application process for this solution is designed to minimize construction costs and disruption. The essence of this solution is that pipes can be lined in situ and the service can be restored in one day without any disruption.

*Trenchless Application:
The following process is followed in this application-
a. Assessment & Planning
b. Site prep & Excavation
c. Cleaning & Pre-inspection
d. Lining
e. Inspection
f. Connection Restoration
g. Flushing and Reconnection
h. Service Reinstatement
