FastFIX working prototype robot is delivered

​​Our Eurostars-funded development project has now successfully come to an end and the automated prototype FastFIX robot is fully commissioned with all functional steps having been proven.

​​This first functioning FastFIX unit is a “proof-of-concept” robot which will be used to demonstrate the potential of this new technology. It is estimated that the next iteration of the FastFIX robot will be able to repair approximately 100m pipe-lengths within 24 hours with no humans required to work inside the pipe!

This exciting new technology not only offers a commercially superior solution for the renovation of large diameter pipes systems but is also capable of making a significant contributing to a number of the United Nations sustainable development goals.

The FastFIX team's vision is to provide a time and cost-efficient trenchless solution for repair of large water and sewage pipes. The FastFIX system promises an innovative pipe repair technology using a remotely operated, ATEX robot and novel, fast-curing pipe-liners which will offer minimum environmental footprint; improved cost/time efficiency and significant operational Health & Safety advantages over traditional pipe renovation methods.
