Presentation Title: Robotic inspections: redefining the definition of unpiggable pipelines
Abstract: This presentation will explore the Pipe Explorer, an advanced robotic inspection tool designed to assess some of the most difficult and traditionally “unpiggable” pipelines. Attendees will learn how the technology enables visual and non-destructive inspections of underground pipelines while they remain in full operation. Drawing on a recent Australian case study, the session will highlight how innovative robotic solutions are redefining what is possible in pipeline inspection and integrity management.
