About the technology

What is The RACER™?

The RACER™ (Rapid Assessment Condition Evaluation Rover) is the result of an innovative collaboration between Pipe Management Australia (PMA) and Sydney Water.

Heralding a new age in asset management, The RACER™ helps councils and utilities professionals carry out sewer inspection more efficiently and more safely, and deliver better results.

How it works

How The RACER™ works

Traditional tethered unmanned technology inspects up to 3 km in a straight line and typically requires six to nine skilled operators. The RACER™ is a versatile, remotely controlled solution that manoeuvres around bends and through a variety of harsh environments.

The RACER™ can safely inspect 14 km of a sewer network in a single 3 to 4 hour session, and its efficient operation is saving Sydney Water over $1 million per year in operating costs.
