Company

PipeScan AI Limited is a Hong Kong-based deep technology startup dedicated to transforming the way infrastructure is inspected and maintained. Established by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in civil engineering, robotics, and artificial intelligence, PipeScan AI specialises in the development of autonomous robotic inspection systems integrated with advanced AI defect detection and smart sensing technologies.

Our flagship solution combines cutting-edge robotic carriers with a proprietary AI-powered analytics platform, enabling fast, safe, and highly accurate assessments of underground pipelines, tunnels, and confined spaces. This technology reduces human risk, improves inspection efficiency, and enhances data-driven decision-making for asset management.

PipeScan AI is currently supported by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) under its Incubation Programme, and has gained recognition and support from government departments such as the Drainage Services Department (DSD) and Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD). As urban centres across Asia face increasing pressure from ageing infrastructure, labour shortages, and rising regulatory demands, PipeScan AI aims to lead the region in predictive maintenance solutions and infrastructure modernisation.

Description

PipeScan AI is a deep-tech startup revolutionising infrastructure inspection through the integration of robotics, AI, and smart sensing technologies. Our autonomous robotic carriers, combined with an AI-powered defect detection and analytics platform, enable safer, faster, and more accurate inspections of underground pipes, tunnels, and confined spaces. Backed by HKSTP’s Incubation Programme and supported by government departments such as DSD and CEDD, PipeScan AI addresses the growing challenges of ageing infrastructure, manpower shortages, and regulatory compliance. Our mission is to modernise infrastructure management and drive predictive maintenance across cities in Asia and beyond.

Product

PipeScan AI’s solution combines autonomous multi-sensor robotic carriers with an AI-powered defect detection platform to transform how confined space inspections are conducted. Designed for underground pipes, tunnels, and other hazardous environments, the system replaces manual CCTV inspection with automated, high-resolution data capture and real-time AI analysis. This enhances safety by removing the need for human entry, increases inspection speed, and improves defect detection accuracy, enabling faster maintenance decisions and predictive asset management.
