VAPAR helps speed up the repairs of their underground pipes. VAPAR's cloud platform automates the fault detection directly from inspection footage of sewer pipes turning a two week process into just two minutes.



We worked collaboratively to align AI models to UK water standards and we’re continuing to work together to implement usage of VAPAR platform into our regular review process.


Our Innovation Lab, in conjunction with innovation specialists L Marks, gives developers unrivalled access to our expertise, processes, data and resources to help co-develop and enhance their products for the water sector.
