Abstract:

Drain cleaning is often considered as a simple task, but it might not be so always. Many industries function smoothly by constantly dumping the waste, toxic chemicals, biodegradable products frequently in the drains, which results in clogging of drains thus preventing the water flow from the pipes. Around 800 men die because of drain cleaning every year in India. Maintaining, cleaning and resolving the issues of drainage systems have been a severe issue in the surrounding environment where, labors are used without any protective measures. Increase in the laborers deaths has been a major concern in cleaning the drainage blockages. Moreover, identifying the blockage within the drainage system is a time consuming and TDS task. Also, the machines available are very expensive. Thus, a system has to be introduced where humans are not insisted for cleaning the drainage blockages and its maintenance. In view of above, present project is aimed at development of a slender and powerful system to inspect the pipe and disintegrate it to clear the blockage in the pipe.
