Laval Underground Surveys has been manufacturing camera vans for decades, so customers usually know what to expect and can anticipate a high-quality product. Nevertheless, sometimes it is helpful to get hands-on experience with the equipment to determine if this is the investment a contractor would like to make. For years, we have built up specific vans for marketing purposes, but each one has been purchased before we could show it off—until now.

For more than 50 years, Laval Underground Surveys has equipped vehicles and trailers with professional water well camera systems, working closely with customers to understand the demands of their unique applications. The DW-2000 was developed from that experience—offering the capability of a deep-well system in a more compact and cost-conscious format.

In 2023, we acquired the water well camera division from Aries, which left customers asking what next steps look like for Aries water well camera equipment. Acquisitions are notably turbulent at times, but we’ve been able to pick up the pieces and get customers back up and running as quickly as possible. Repairs, upgrades, and inevitable obsolescence of parts are all a normal part of any piece of equipment’s lifespan, so we at LUS have been committed to making this a seamless transition for those with Aries equipment who are looking to move forward.

However, there are circumstances within our control and steps that can be taken to ensure equipment runs smoothly for longer. Here are a few simple ways to keep your equipment performing at its best:
