Inspection, Cleaning & Digitization of Storm Water and STP Assets
| Endobot
PROJECT OVERVIEW
A large business park required an end-to-end inspection and cleaning solution to improve stormwater drainage performance, prevent water stagnation during rains and reduce flood risk. Solinas supported the project through robotic inspection, cleaning, GIS mapping and dashboard-based reporting.

TECHNOLOGY USED
Endobot (Endo250) for drain inspection HomoSEP for robotic chamber cleaning Jetting and sludge removal systems SWASTH dashboard for reports and GIS tagging GIS mapping for network digitization
PROJECT EXECUTION
The campus stormwater network had recurring drainage challenges during rainfall, including stagnant water, overflow risk, sludge accumulation, hardened silt, stones, plastics, cable obstructions and limited visibility of internal pipeline condition. Several drains were filled even during non-rainy periods, reducing carrying capacity and increasing the risk of flooding during heavy rain. Solinas conducted pre-inspection of stormwater drains using Endobot/Endo250 systems to assess internal condition, locate obstructions and digitize the network. Chamber and STP cleaning was supported using HomoSEP, jetting and sludge removal systems. SWASTH enabled GIS tagging, downloadable reports, defect grading and risk assessment. Based on condition and safety risks, chambers were segmented as easy to clean, “can try” in phases, or “can’t be done,” giving the client a practical roadmap for inspection, cleaning and flood-prevention maintenance.
FINDINGS & IMPACT
Inspection revealed silt, sludge, stones, crushed stone, plastics and cables restricting stormwater flow. STP cleaning found algae and rusting in tanks and adjacent pipes. The project created a digital view of stormwater routes, problematic chambers, stagnation prone areas, discharge points and cleaning feasibility, enabling the facility owners to plan targeted cleaning and reduce flood/stagnation risk during rains.

PROJECT BENEFITS
Improved Asset Visibility: Digitized drains and STP assets for clearer visibility. Targeted Cleaning Plan: Prioritized chambers by cleaning feasibility and safety. Overflow Risk Reduction: Improved flow by removing 150,000 litres of sludge/wastewater. Preventive Maintenance Roadmap: Recommended routine cleaning, inspection and prevention of line interference.
