WHAT WE DO
Optimizing the energy customer experience through responsible innovation
For more than two decades, our field services group has helped gas utilities avoid thousands of costly and disruptive excavations in busy, urban streets by deploying innovative trenchless technologies and provide in-pipe intelligence.
ULC’s engineering group is working to develop the next generation of robotics and technology that will work across a broader range of market segments such as renewables and construction to support net-zero goals, improve safety and minimize costs.
OUR MARKETS
Who We Work With
Pipeline Operators
ULC Technologies works with pipeline operators such as gas distribution networks, water networks and heat/steam networks to transform the way their vital infrastructure is inspected and maintained.
Electric Utilities
Robotic systems and machine learning algorithms being developed by ULC Technologies will help electric networks and power utilities improve reliability, increase safety and automate system mapping and inspection.
Offshore Wind & Renewables
We support renewable energy through the application of our advanced robotic and aerial technologies and machine learning models to improve reliability, minimize environmental impact and lower costs.

Clint W.
Before we excavate for replacement of Aldyl-A pipe, we always call ULC to help us avoid third party damages in the field. We won’t dig until ULC marks the main using their long range cameras. Their marks are spot-on, which means fewer holes in the street for our community.
Brett Fisher
Before we brought in ULC, we had to rely on old records and some of the curb lines have changed or streets have widened, making it challenging to locate the stubs. In-Pipe Locating is a good program to bring in to help us locate the stubs and possibly prevent damages when we’re installing our new gas main.
S. Sweeney
“Hiring ULC Robotics for the work with CISBOT on West End Avenue cost $400,000. To do the job the way such work used to be done would have cost $1.5 million to $1.8 million.”
J. Rowing
“CISBOT enables us to keep the roads open, have the gas on the entire time, and it massively reduces the duration of the work.”
J. Harrison
“CISBOT delivered 850m of Gas mains remediation to this highly sensitive location in 9 weeks compared to 9 months via traditional methods, The impact on traffic was considerably reduced and at no time did customers have their gas supplies interrupted.”
