Pallon Reviews & Product Details

Pallon is an AI-powered condition assessment platform for sewers and manholes. Upload CCTV inspection footage and receive standards-compliant defect coding and condition ratings, typically within days. Inspection companies using Pallon increase daily inspection output by 26% with their existing crews and equipment, and report more complete defect capture than manual coding. Who it's for. Network operators and municipal utilities use Pallon to base rehabilitation budgets on objective condition data rather than estimates. Engineering firms use it to scale project throughput without adding headcount, processing large condition assessment projects in a fraction of the time. Inspection contractors use it to raise daily output, shorten turnaround on defect reports, and make project duration predictable regardless of how many defects a survey turns up. Standards and exchange formats. DIN EN 13508-2 (2003/2011) including DWA-M 149-2, DWA-M 150, ISYBAU-XML and VSA-KEK; NASSCO PACP 7 and MACP 7. Automated condition rating per the current VSA guideline. Coverage. Compatible with 98% of sewer inspections: mainline pipes and manholes from 100–2000 mm (4″–80″) in concrete, vitrified clay, plastic, brick and liner, across circular, egg-shaped and rectangular profiles. Works with pan-and-tilt, side-scan, push and 3D optical scanner cameras as well as drones — hardware-agnostic, so crews keep their existing equipment and no hardware investment is required. Reporting and integration. Export PDF condition reports or ISYBAU-XML and VSA-KEK files for import into your own software. Reports are configurable — set defect thresholds and merge adjacent defects so output matches your coding conventions. Bidirectional GIS integrations in place with systems used across Switzerland and Germany; further integrations built on request. Also available inside PipeTech. Interface in German and English. Rehabilitation planning. Beyond condition coding, Pallon turns assessment data into rehabilitation planning – [prioritising segments and supporting capital planning decisions]. Workflow. Upload footage and metadata to the secure cloud, review the AI-coded defects and condition assessment in the web app, share results by link, then export to your GIS or asset management system. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with two-factor authentication and geographically separated backups. Pricing. Usage-based, billed monthly or annually on inspected length or number of manholes. Free demo and free trial available. Used by 250+ organisations across Switzerland and Germany.
