Sewer robot deployed to detect blockages

Northumbrian Water's Pipebot Patrol, a sewer robot funded by Ofwat, will use its £1.8m technology to inspect pipes, detect blockages, and prevent flooding. This innovative robot is set for its first 30-day mission, where it will cover miles of underground pipelines, automatically reporting any issues it finds. This groundbreaking technology is expected to reduce emergency repairs and improve sewer maintenance operations.
