In 2018, we won our fourth Network Innovation Competition (NIC) with a bid to develop a Robotic Roadworks & Excavation System (RRES) which will improve existing methods of excavation, repair and maintenance operations performed daily at SGN and the other Gas Distribution Networks (GDN).

2020年11月20日 · Our RRES project aims to develop an accurate, safe automated system to maintain our network of underground gas pipes. This will help reduce the costs of excavating buried pipelines, minimise the disruption associated with excavating underground pipes and also make excavating close to utility pipes and cables even safer for our engineers.

ULC Technologies, LLC and SGN are developing an advanced, all-electric robotic system to revolutionize the way that roadworks are performed. The Robotic Roadworks and Excavation System (RRES) will replace conventional methods of excavation performed daily by gas networks on transmission and distribution mains and other underground infrastructure.

2022年5月16日 · The RRES provides operators with soft-touch excavation by using a space-saving, custom-designed vacuum excavation head with integrated supersonic air nozzles. This design enables the manipulation and removal of soil while keeping buried assets intact.

ULC Robotics and UK gas network SGN recently held their first joint webinar to introduce the Robotic Roadworks and Excavation System, an advanced system which will replace conventional excavation methods. Hosted by the Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers (IGEM) and The Pipeline Industries Guild (PIG), the webinar was led by ULC’s RRES ...

A world-first autonomous robotic system that set out to transform roadworks was put to the test on SGN’s network after 3 years of advanced engineering development. In the UK, there are over 1.5 million kilometers of underground assets which risk being damaged by over 4 million heavy excavation and surface breakings that take place annually.

2020年11月20日 · SGN and ULC Technologies are set to reveal their collaborative project, the ground-breaking ‘Robotics Roadworks and Excavation System (RRES)’ prototype at three major virtual energy industry ...

The Robotic Roadworks & Excavation System (RRES) is the future for precision excavation and utility operations technology. The system will use advanced robotic arm technology fused with a mobile platform and AI working with a suite of sensors and controls to enable autonomous, safe and efficient mains excavation.

RRES is an innovative and advanced robotic system which will be designed to improve existing methods of excavation, repair and rnaintenance operations performed daily at SGN and the other GDN's. The objective is to reduce the excavation size, costs, labour and …

2021年4月27日 · Short for Robotic Roadworks and Excavation System, the RRES is a stand-alone, battery-powered robot that can autonomously perform the complex tasks required to excavate,...
