EAUX de PARIS: Innovation Award
ROBOPLANET wins the EAUX DE PARIS project tender
ROBOPLANET has been selected to address a strategic challenge: assessing the thickness of drinking water pipelines in the city of Paris while ensuring operator safety and minimizing intrusive work. With over 2,050 km of pipelines, most of which date back to the 19th century, the infrastructure requires innovative solutions to ensure its integrity while meeting urban and environmental constraints.
An innovative technology to preserve infrastructure
The solution developed by ROBOPLANET is based on a mobile carrier capable of navigating inside the pipelines to perform thickness measurements with high precision. This system significantly reduces the need for excavation work and minimizes the impact on public services, urban traffic, and the environment. Additionally, it is specifically designed to adapt to DN150 gray cast iron pipes while complying with current food-grade standards, ensuring the quality and safety of drinking water.
A prototype tested in real-world conditions
The project, with its final phase completed in June 2020, resulted in the creation of a prototype that was qualified through tests conducted both in simulated workshop conditions and on the actual network. These trials validated the system’s performance in representative environments, confirming its reliability and effectiveness for the specific needs of EAUX DE PARIS. This technological advancement demonstrates ROBOPLANET’s commitment to providing innovative solutions tailored to the complex challenges of public infrastructure.
