Liberaware and PASCO have signed a basic agreement to jointly demonstrate drone-based infrastructure inspection technologies, starting with sewer pipelines. The partnership kind of meshes Liberaware’s small drone tech together with PASCO’s GIS, plus spatial information knows how, to come up with inspection approaches that are safer and also more efficient, yes.
This collaboration is happening while Japan is dealing with bigger and bigger issues keeping aging infrastructure in shape, at the same time labor shortages keep showing up and budgets stay pretty limited. In particular, sewer inspections are a headache because these sites are basically in tight, confined spaces, with lots of hazards, like toxic gases, oxygen dropping, and also rough working conditions. The Japanese side has been pushing no-entry style inspections too using things such as drones and remote cameras.
As part of the overall project, the firms will try inspections inside confined spaces, connect the drone output with GIS, and then judge how the gathered information can actually help with condition assessments, screening, and future maintenance planning. PASCO will handle the GIS integration, the mapping, and the inspection data side of things, whereas リベラウェア will cover drone operations, image capture, and the technical know-how needed for inspections in these difficult environments.

The demonstrations are expected to help build more practical and standardized inspection methods that reduce dependence on manual work. Beyond sewer systems, both companies also plan to explore applications for buildings, tunnels, bridges, industrial plants, and port facilities, with the long-term goal of creating a broader no-entry inspection solution using drones and spatial information technology.
