Work is under way to build drones to inspect pipelines on Jurong Island, making the task more efficient and safer for staff.
The aim is to create fully automated drones, equipped with multiple video cameras and sensors, that can traverse the island in search of gas plumes, leaks and other signs of damage to the pipelines.
