SmartBall utilizes highly sensitive acoustic sensors to detect potential leaks, gas pockets and pipe wall distress. The 92nd Civil Engineer Squadron contracted Xylem to inspect the underground concrete-lined steel piping as part of an ongoing project to keep Fairchild AFB’s main waterline reliable and ensure uninterrupted mission execution.
