LEADING BY INNOVATION
The first autonomous system for tunnel drainage maintenance
DrainBot is the first autonomous system developed for the maintenance of tunnel drainage. Instead of the dominant water jetting technology, we apply intelligent robots to allow for removal and preventative maintenance of the drainage pipes. This allows us to maintain tunnel drainage remotely and without any maintenance-related tunnel locking times.
GREEN TECHNOLOGY
Enviromentally Sustainable
Other solutions use lots of water and heavy machinery powered by fossil fuels. DrainBot uses only the resources within the drainage system and thereby reduces both costs and environmental footprint of the maintenance for our customers. With reduced CO2 emissions and drastically reduced water consumption, our technology is the most environmentally sustainable solution on the market.

Our Projects
EXPERIENCED TEAM
Foundations of our innovation
With the ongoing rapid pace of digitalisation of the infrastructure sector, DrainBot has decided to focus on not just the introduction of novel technologies, but also sustainability aspects of infrastructure operations, particularly tunnels. Our outstanding team with many decades of experience in product development and new technologies follows the vision of more efficient and sustainable usage of infrastructure, which is the core of our products and services.
DrainBot GmbH was founded in Graz in 2019. Our company’s mission is to create a better, more efficient, sustainable and innovative solutions for maintaining tunnel drainage all over the world. Together with international experts from our advisory board and leading professionals with decades of experience in the fields of engineering, innovation, tunnel maintenance and machine learning, we ensure that our products manufactured in Austria are of high quality and that tunnel operators in various regions and sectors are looked after.
INVESTING INTO the FUTURE
We stand for
Efficiency
Our fully automated robotic system is the most efficient and most suitable solution for drainage maintenance in tunnels used for both railway and road transportation.
Sustainability
DrainBot is the only technology on the market that uses only the resources within the drainage system thereby reducing the environmental footprint of tunnels.
Automation
The fully autonomous and robotic system uses a combination of several novel patented technologies and is able to communicate with us remotely at any time.
Innovation
Our innovative reduces the demand for resources and costs of drainage maintenance significantly making tunnels more efficient and sustainable.
