Smart Riser Jacket and Robotic System Towngas has developed a gas pipe repair method called "Smart Riser Jacket" to repair the defective pipe with a UPVC jacket by stopping the pipe from continuing to oxidize and extend the life of the pipe for 25 years to achieve sustainable effect. It also eliminates the inconvenience caused to the public by interrupting the gas supply due to the traditional pipe replacement method. In addition, a Jacketing Robot is a custom-built robotic system to install the Smart Riser Jacket on the corroded gas pipes which installed at the façade of the building. This Robot replace the technicians to repair the gas pipe at height. The robot will be lifted to the position of the corroded pipe by the lifting device, and the rusted surface will be removed, and the smart riser jacket will be installed. Operators only need to remotely control the robot at the ground station, it eliminating the risk of working at height due to the traditional pipe replacement method. The Hong Kong and China Gas Co.
