CISBOT - Cisbot Robotic Cast Iron Joint Sealing Service
Gas distribution utilities who operate and maintain large diameter cast iron mains face the high costs and disruption associated with replacing the pipe as well as the challenges of maintaining these assets. CISBOT enables gas networks to safely extend the life of these assets with no disruption of gas service to customers and reduced impact to the public and the environment.
- Enters 15"+ diameter mains
- No disruption of gas service
- Seals jute joints and mechanical joints
- Access up to 110 joints from one excavation
Small Site Footprint
CISBOT enters the live, 15″+ diameter cast iron mains through a very small opening in the street and travels through the pipe to internally seal up to 110 joints.
- All work performed in live mains
- Reduced impact on traffic and community
- Low-noise enables crews to work at night
Proactive Methodology
CISBOT remediates all the joints in the main by injecting an industry-proven anaerobic sealant into the joint. Our process repairs existing leaks and prevents new leaks from forming to support capital construction and emergency response.
- Internally remediate both jute joints and mechanical joints
- Computer controlled injection method
- Ability to inject from multiple positions around each joint

Reducing Environmental Impact
By sealing leak-prone pipelines CISBOT mitigates the lost value of leaked gas and prevents harmful methane emissions from negatively impacting the environment. Our solar-powered mobile command units also help support net-zero carbon emission goals.
