Collection System & Results Oriented
Management Using Autonomous Robots
5 Steps to Implement a Successful Program
5 PRACTICAL STEPS
1. DETERMINE YOUR ASSET MANAGEMENT
GOALS
2. ASSESS YOUR DATA NEEDS
3. GET THE INFORMATION YOU DO NOT HAVE
4. ESTABLISH A SOFTWARE BASED SYSTEM
OF RECORD
5. REGULARLY USE THE APPLICATION
5 PRACTICAL STEPS
• Prepare a complete asset
inventory and system map
• Establish a baseline level of
knowledge
• Determine fact-based
criticality ratings
• Flow studies, smoke & dye
testing
• Make use of existing good
information wherever possible
STEP 3:
GET THE
INFORMATION YOU
DO NOT HAVE
• Complete years of assessment work in a
fraction of the time
• Establish full system context of all collection
system assets – Baseline Setting
• Informs engineering planning
• Informs O&M execution plan
• Establishes a collection system ‘system of
record’
• Fact based prioritization for critical activities
required to sustain performance & meet
required service levels
• Helps understand criticality
• Real-time summary reports
• Aligned payment plan

vs. CCTV
• Corrosion measured to be
less than 10% through pipe
wall thickness.
• No immediate need for rehab
• Avoided Unnecessary $360k
Rehab on Trunk A
• Corrosion measured to be
less than 90% through pipe
wall thickness.
• Imminent risk pipe
• Appropriate rehab avoids
costly failure & risk of
services
Large Pipe Requires Accurate Measurements From Synchronized Sensors
• Critical Pipe Survey Report structural
integrity measurements in a useful way
– Ovality/Deflection - How much deformation
exists?
– Diameter – What is the pipe geometry?
– Corrosion/Pipe loss – How much of the crown
is gone?
– Sediment volume – How much debris and
where is it deposited?
– H2S/Temperature – What is the likely
corrosion rate?
• Manage your Critical Pipe for predictive risk
management
MSI®
Multi-Sensor Inspection
SMALL ROBOT, HUGE IMPACT
• An industry first!
– Unmanned, autonomous inspections
• Recognized within and outside of the industry
• Facilitates Y.E.S. Program – Rapid Data Acquisition
• Inspect abundant pipe
8”, 10”, 12”
• Battery operated – Green technology.
• Non-disruptive…quiet
• 3-5X Daily CCTV output
• Lightweight, easily transported platform
• 100% pipe coverage
• Digital data format
• Increased safety
• Simplified access
• Not limited by weather conditions
• Minimal traffic control
