Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
ASI Group Ltd.
$75,000.00
Market research and feasibility for automated underwater infrastructure repair technology
FY 2022-23 · 2023-01-01
Summary
ASI seeks to investigate the market demand for a remotely operated system that can be used to maintain underwater infrastructure. Large municipalities increasingly use large diameter, underground storage systems to help alleviate discharge of untreated effluent into open, public bodies of water. Large diameter intakes and outfalls service all conventional power plants (hydro, nuclear, carbon based fuels). For over 30 years, ASI has developed a successful business of inspecting these types of assets with frequent requests to assist with repairs of defects that are identified. ASI has completed smaller intervention projects but larger assets require a larger, more capable machine that this project is meant to identify.

Description
ASI seeks to investigate the market demand for a remotely operated system that can be used to maintain underwater infrastructure. Large municipalities increasingly use large diameter, underground storage systems to help alleviate discharge of untreated effluent into open, public bodies of water. Large diameter intakes and outfalls service all conventional power plants (hydro, nuclear, carbon based fuels).

ASI has completed smaller intervention projects but larger assets require a larger, more capable machine that this project is meant to identify.
Description (French)
ASI cherche à étudier la demande du marché pour un système télécommandé qui peut être utilisé pour entretenir les infrastructures sous-marines. Les grandes municipalités ont de plus en plus recours à des systèmes de stockage souterrains de grand diamètre afin d’atténuer le déversement d’effluents non traités dans des plans d’eau publics ouverts. Les prises d’eau et les émissaires de grand diamètre desservent toutes les centrales électriques conventionnelles (hydroélectricité, nucléaire, combustibles à base de carbone). Depuis plus de 30 ans, ASI a développé une activité fructueuse d’inspection de ces types d’actifs, avec des demandes fréquentes d’assistance pour la réparation des défauts identifiés. ASI a mené à bien des projets d’intervention de moindre envergure, mais les actifs plus importants nécessitent une machine plus grande et plus performante, que ce projet vise à trouver.
