Process and Standards Team- No Dig Tech No Dig Blueprint project has been in place in South-West region of • STW account since August Principle of project was to prove hypothesis that no dig technology • can be used for reactive sewer repairs and not just planned works Results so far have been promising. 52.1% of examples reviewed • can be delivered using no dig technology. Current performance is just 5%. Based on current rates with client, patch repairs are actually more • commercially advantageous to Amey than a conventional dig. Amey STW has also introduced a cutting tool to allow us to cut • concrete from pipes. This is becoming more common and the pipes are often close to, or underneath, buildings. The cutting tool removes concrete quickly and efficiently with minimal distribution The finished product will be a case study and a suite of • recommendations to be adopted by all of our waste water accounts Here, a robotic cutting tool turned a conventional dig into a patch repair 10
