Robot repairs gas mains in Kingston
In recent months, Kingston has benefited from a revolutionary robotic approach to gas main maintenance, in which a cutting-edge device called CISBOT is used.
CISBOT works by travelling remotely along existing gas mains, detecting and repairing leaks without the need for frequent excavations, which are typical when using traditional methods.
This innovative approach by ULC Technologies, on behalf of SGN, not only ensures public safety, but also delivers significant advantages, including reduced road closures, lower CO2 emissions, and the prevention of delays to essential services, residents and businesses.
