Project Member(s): Dissanayake, G., Valls Miro, J., Ranasinghe, R.

Funding or Partner Organisation: Sydney Water Corporation

Start year: 2020

Summary: Sydney Water wants to develop 1 x prototype of a robotic tool to assess condition of a critical main without taking it out of service and while it is continuing to deliver water to its customers (i.e. in contrast to the robotic tools that operate in dewatered pipes, the new tool need to be inserted into a pipe under pressure).
