01
Nobody goes down
The unit rides on a telescopic pole and the whole inspection happens from the rim. That takes confined-space entry, gas exposure and fall risk out of the job, and one person can do it.
02
Lower, turn, raise
Hold it above the opening, lower it at a steady pace, turn it once at the bottom and bring it back up. The laser rangefinder logs depth the whole way down.
03
Watch it live at the rim
The floor and both walls stream to a browser on a tablet or phone over the unit's own Wi-Fi, with depth, temperature and storage on screen. A bad pass is caught before the lid goes back on.
04
One click to a 3D model
MXview extracts the images, aligns them and builds a textured 3D mesh and a point cloud of the shaft in one run — or step by step when something needs checking.
05
Unroll the wall, measure the defect
The cylindrical wall is unwrapped into one flat, scaled image. Cracks, spalling, infiltration and debris are marked and measured on it, with each annotation tied to its position in the shaft.
06
A report you can file
Manhole ID, location, cover size and every annotation go into an inspection report with views of the model, ready for the asset owner's records and the repair crew.
07
What is in the body
Three cameras, a laser rangefinder and pointer, LED fill light, a swappable battery and a CFexpress card in a sealed aluminium and nylon housing just under a kilogram.
