Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu required inspection
PROJECT OVERVIEW
An automotive manufacturing facility in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu required inspection, cleaning and assessment of sewer lines and manholes. The objective was to restore flow, remove obstructions and identify structural or access-related issues across critical sewer stretches.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
An automotive manufacturing facility in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu required inspection, cleaning and assessment of sewer lines and manholes. The objective was to restore flow, remove obstructions and identify structural or access-related issues across critical sewer stretches.
TECHNOLOGY USED
HomoSEP for robotic sewer cleaning support High-pressure jetting for debris and deposit removal Super Sucker vacuum for sludge extraction ENDO250 for visual inspection of critical manholes Mapping and visual documentation for maintenance planning
PROJECT EXECUTION
The sewer network faced sediment accumulation, heavy flow conditions, access limitations and concrete blockages that affected cleaning and inspection progress. The work was executed over 2 months across multiple manholes and connecting sewer pipeline sections. Solinas used HomoSEP, high-pressure jetting, Super Sucker vacuum and ENDO250 inspection to clean accessible manholes, remove sludge/debris, inspect critical sections and map unresolved blockages. Four sewer line stretches were fully cleaned, while three stretches were partially cleaned due to obstructions or limited access. The team also removed a sack filled with sand near one pipe mouth. Critical unresolved issues were found in two downstream pipeline stretches, where concrete deposits fully blocked pipe mouths and required immediate action. One approx. 100 m stretch could not be accessed because required permissions and safety clearances were not available.
FINDINGS & IMPACT
Most manholes were structurally in good condition, and accessible sections were cleaned to improve waste flow. Key constraints included two concrete-blocked stretches, one missing pipe-mouth section, one heavy-flow section, and one permit-constrained inaccessible stretch. The inspection confirmed that unresolved concrete deposits could cause overflow and flooding risks if left untreated. 175 M sewer pipeline network cleaned 78 M concrete-blocked pipelines identified 12 manholes cleaned

PROJECT BENEFITS
Restored Sewer Flow: Removed sludge, debris and sand related obstruction from accessible lines. Critical Blockage Identification: Pinpointed blockage sections requiring replacement or mechanical cutting. Improved Maintenance Visibility: Mapped cleaned, partially cleaned and inaccessible segments. Overflow Risk Reduction: Supported preventive action before sewer surcharging or flooding.
