A team of innovators including Costain and VVB Engineering has developed the first robotic and AI solution set to revolutionise the installation of mechanical and civil services in tunnels.
The prototype Automated Tunnel Robotic Installation System (ATRIS) replaces traditionally hazardous, labour-intensive and time-consuming techniques and can autonomously select brackets, locate where they need to be mounted along a tunnel wall, and install them.
Once fully-developed, the final system can be de
