[Sydney, 14th March 2024] – Detection Services and its NO-DES technology, which provides innovative water mains cleaning solutions, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Fulcrum Robotics, a pioneer in robotic and UAV technology. This partnership marks a significant milestone for the water industry, combining Detection Services expertise in water mains cleaning with Fulcrum’s cutting-edge robotics to deliver unparalleled efficiency, sustainability, and safety in tank inspection and cleaning services.
Traditionally, maintaining water infrastructure, particularly tanks, has been a labor-intensive, hazardous and costly process, often requiring assets to be taken offline, posing challenges for water utilities and councils. However, with Detection Services and Fulcrum Robotics joining forces, a new era of water management is dawning.
Fulcrum Robotics brings to the table state-of-the-art ROVs and UAVs equipped to inspect and clean assets with precision and efficiency. Leveraging advanced technology, these machines eliminate the need for human entry into hazardous environments, mitigating risks to workers and ensuring safety compliance.
“We are excited to partner with Fulcrum Robotics to enhance our service offerings and redefine industry standards,” said Chris Evans, COO of Detection Services. “By integrating their cutting-edge robotics with our innovative cleaning system, we are not only streamlining operations but also prioritising worker safety and environmental sustainability.”
“A key highlight of this partnership is NO-DES’s proprietary cleaning system, which enables tanks to be cleaned online, without the need for removal from service. This groundbreaking approach not only minimises downtime but also ensures compliance with water quality regulations by returning extracted water back into the storage reservoir.”

This groundbreaking approach not only minimises downtime but also ensures compliance with water quality regulations by returning extracted water back into the storage reservoir. This method, ensuring virtually no loss of water is a world first, and is particularly crucial for clients operating in water-deficient areas and seeking to reduce costs associated with sediment discharge into wastewater networks.
“At Fulcrum Robotics, we are committed to harnessing technology to solve real-world challenges,” said Mike Larkin, Managing Director of Fulcrum Robotics. “Teaming up with Detection Services allows us to revolutionise water management by integrating our robotics expertise with their innovative cleaning solutions, ultimately driving efficiency, sustainability, and water security.”
The partnership between Detection Services and Fulcrum Robotics underscores a shared commitment to water security, conservation, and innovation. By deploying machines and technology to perform heavy lifting and hazardous tasks, the partnership not only enhances operational efficiency but also safeguards the environment and protects workers’ well-being.
