Protect water pipelines from within.
RoverTracer is an autonomous in-pipe robot that detects and seals early-stage cracks in live water pipelines, reducing water loss and minimizing excavation.
The Problem
Water pipeline failures cause massive water loss, service disruptions, and contamination risks. Traditional inspection and repair methods require costly excavation and service interruptions, leaving early-stage defects undetected until they become critical failures.
Billions of liters lost daily through undetected leaks and cracks in aging infrastructure.
Road closures, service outages, and community disruption from reactive repairs.
Cracks allow contaminants to enter the water supply, posing public health risks.
Our Solution
RoverTracer operates in three stages to detect and repair cracks before they become failures.
Continuous scanning using EMAT sensors as the robot moves through live pipelines.
When anomalies are detected, the robot pauses to precisely localize the defect location.
Apply sealant to early-stage cracks, preventing progression to full failures.
Why We're Different
AquaTrace unifies detection, inspection, and early-stage repair inside live pipes.
