Why We're Different
Award-Winning Designs
We work hand-in-hand with pipeline operators to understand the challenges they face while remediating and inspecting the condition of pipelines. Our award-winning solutions, including CISBOT and our live gas main inspection cameras support industry needs and make a difference to everyday operations.


Bespoke Service
ULC Technologies provide a bespoke and trusted robotics service, including the management of large-scale turnkey rehabilitation programmes, emergency response support, and gas main survey inspections.
Leading Technology
Our top range of in-pipe robotic camera and crawler systems provide high-quality visual data that locate features inside live 2”- 48” gas pipelines. We support gas utilities to remediate aging infrastructure with minimal customer disruption, and with significant cost savings.


Continous Improvement
We ensure that all our incremental improvements to our
robotic operations are developed for the real world and meet the high standards
of safety and delivery while also providing the existing direct and indirect
cost reduction benefits.
