Worker Safety: Working in sewer systems can be risky due to pollution, toxic fumes, and other hazards. The use of drones for internal inspection allows inspection without direct exposure of workers to potential dangers, thereby increasing safety. Access to Hard-to-Reach Places: Sewer systems often contain tight and difficult-to-reach spaces. Drones can easily maneuver through narrow passages, allowing inspection of parts that are challenging for humans to access. Quick Inspection: Drones enable fast and efficient inspection of long stretches of sewer lines. This reduces the time needed for inspection and helps identify issues in the early stages. Detailed Visual Information: Drones provide high-quality real-time visual information. This allows inspectors to clearly see the interior of sewer pipes, connections, sediment, and other details. Early Detection of Issues: Drones enable early detection of problems such as blockages, leaks, damage, and sedimentation. Early detection helps prevent the spread of issues and reduces the potential for emergencies. Reduced Downtime: Fast and efficient drone inspection reduces the time needed for intervention and issue resolution. This helps reduce downtime in the sewer system and minimizes interruptions in operation. Maintenance Planning: Information collected during inspection allows better planning of maintenance, cleaning, and servicing of sewer systems. Accurate Documentation: Recordings and 3D maps created by drones can be used to document the condition of sewer systems over time. This helps track changes and plan for future interventions. Reduced Contamination Risk: Drone inspection reduces the need for human entry into the sewer, reducing the risk of pollution and contamination spread.
