Keyhole Surgery For Gas Mains

I like this story from the Standard, as it shows how good design and clever technology can make the solving of everyday problems, quicker and easier. Here’s the first paragraph.

A £1m robot will today complete work repairing gas mains in London without having to dig a single hole in the street in a UK first that it is claimed will save thousands of hours of disruption to motorists.

It may have cost a lot, but how much did it save?
