Wen Wei Po interviewed DSD on the adoption of innovative technologies

8 December 2022

On 8 December 2022, Wen Wei Po interviewed two DSD Engineers, Mr Tony TAM Tsz-ho and Mr Andy LO Chun-chung about the innovative technologies adopted by DSD.

Mr Tam introduced to the reporter that the DSD has adopted the All-terrain Transport Robot and the Portable Three-dimensional Laser Scanner to assist sewers construction works at Ma Yau Tong Village. Workers can remotely operate the All-terrain Transport Robot to carry materials up and down stairs or pass through steep roads, narrow alleys or even rugged terrains, resolving the inconvenience of transporting construction materials in village and at the same time enhancing works efficiency and occupational safety. While the Portable Three-dimensional Laser Scanner enables workers to scan precisely and collect data of as-built pipelines in a short period of time, making surveying works more flexible.

After that, Mr LO introduced the Pipeline Inspection Robot which can also be remotely operated. Being able to rotate 360° and equipped with a high-definition camera and sonar system, the Pipeline Inspection Robot can enter a pipe to inspect its structure and condition without flow diversion, thereby streamlining works procedure to allow more flexibility in arranging pipeline inspection.
