Riyadh Municipality has unveiled a new initiative to enhance the inspection and maintenance of its stormwater drainage networks using specialized robots and advanced smart technologies, reports Zawya.
This move allows for proactive maintenance and rapid decision-making since the robots can navigate through water and various surfaces, measure and analyze the network.
These cutting-edge robots capture comprehensive three-dimensional, 360-degree images of the drainage networks. The collected data is then processed using artificial intelligence (AI), enabling the municipality to expedite tasks and ensure the drainage systems are in optimal condition.
By integrating these technologies, the Riyadh Municipality aims to streamline its maintenance efforts, ensuring the readiness and safety of the stormwater drainage networks. This includes regular, preventive, and scheduled maintenance of all network components. The use of modern technologies helps in identifying and addressing potential malfunctions and surrounding issues promptly.
