Pipebot Patrol is a £1.8m project funded by the Ofwat Water Breakthrough Challenge, that will develop, build and test an autonomous sewer robot that lives in the sewer, constantly inspecting and raising alerts to the precise location of blockages, as they are beginning to form. This proactive approach will allow water and sewerage company maintenance teams enough time to plan and then react before sewer flooding occurs – keeping sewage where it belongs.
