Robotic Cutting & Obstruction Removal
When intrusive objects like concrete, rebar, grout, or collapsed liners obstruct a drain, robotic cutting offers a non-invasive, precision solution. This method avoids disruptive excavation and allows for internal removal of the obstruction using a remotely controlled cutting head.
Guided via live CCTV, our robotic systems cut through the obstruction while protecting the integrity of the host pipe. It’s ideal for pre-repair preparation, abandoned liner removal, or post-construction remediation — particularly in sensitive or hard-to-access locations.
