History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 238220-38 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of the Pipe & Leak Locating industry dates back to the early 1900s when the first underground pipes were installed in cities. The industry has since then undergone significant advancements, with the introduction of new technologies and equipment. In the 1920s, the first electromagnetic pipe locator was invented, which revolutionized the industry. In the 1960s, the first closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera was introduced, which allowed for the inspection of pipes without the need for excavation. In recent years, the industry has seen the introduction of advanced technologies such as acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging, and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) that have made pipe and leak locating more efficient and accurate. In the United States, the industry has grown significantly in the last decade, driven by the increasing demand for infrastructure maintenance and repair, as well as the need for environmental compliance.
