Following the opening remarks, Tao Dali, General Manager of Ming Hing Waterworks, and Yuan Xubin, Director of Hanmeihao Technology, delivered keynote speeches respectively, sharing achievements in water technology innovation and experience in developing a strong construction safety culture.

The companies emphasized that protecting people remains the top priority of sustainable development. Through responsible innovation and technology-driven solutions, they are helping build a stronger safety barrier for Hong Kong’s urban infrastructure.

Technology Empowerment: Building a Stronger Defense for Pipeline Safety

During the technology-sharing session, Liu Zhiguo, Vice General Manager of Easy-Sight, delivered a technical presentation focusing on water supply pipeline inspection.

He introduced Easy-Sight’s latest technological achievements and field experience, providing practical technical approaches for improving the inspection, assessment and high-quality maintenance of urban water supply networks.

A dedicated Easy-Sight exhibition area was also set up at the event, showcasing technologies and products for water supply and drainage pipeline inspection as well as trenchless rehabilitation materials.

The Director of the Hong Kong Water Supplies Department and his delegation visited the Easy-Sight booth and watched a live demonstration of the G30 In-Pipe Water Supply Pipeline Inspection Robot operating inside a narrow DN100 pipeline.

The product received strong recognition for its ability to address a long-standing challenge in the industry: the precise inspection of small-diameter urban water supply pipelines.

Behind this interest lies a challenge shared by cities around the world.

Many urban water networks were constructed in the mid-20th century. As the era of large-scale new pipeline construction gradually gives way to asset management and rehabilitation, intelligent and refined management of existing water infrastructure has become increasingly important.

As noted during the event:

“Hong Kong developed early, has a high urban density and complex terrain, so it is facing many infrastructure challenges ahead of other cities. The problems Hong Kong encounters today may be the same problems other cities will face in 10 or 20 years.”

To manage a pipeline network effectively, operators must first be able to see clearly what is happening inside it. And before they can see clearly, inspection equipment must first be able to enter the pipeline.

Small-diameter water supply branches often have limited internal space and numerous bends, making them difficult for conventional inspection equipment to access. As a result, they have long remained a blind spot in detailed pipeline condition assessment.

The G30 was developed specifically to address this challenge. By entering narrow pipelines, it enables operators to clearly identify pipe wall defects, leakage risks and other internal abnormalities that would otherwise be difficult to detect.

Having worked in Hong Kong’s water industry for many years, Ming Hing Waterworks is also actively upgrading its capabilities and transforming toward a more technology-driven water services model.

By introducing intelligent technologies and advanced inspection equipment into pipeline construction and maintenance, the company is steadily strengthening its ability to manage water infrastructure more efficiently.

This pragmatic transformation represents not only an important step forward for the company itself, but also a vivid example of Hong Kong’s water industry moving toward smarter, more precise and more technology-enabled infrastructure management.

Wuhan and Hong Kong: Connected by Water and Innovation

The event also marked the beginning of a new partnership, bringing together water industry expertise from Hong Kong and Wuhan.

The story of Ming Hing Waterworks began in 1967. For nearly six decades, the company has been deeply involved in Hong Kong’s water industry, undertaking the maintenance of public water infrastructure and contributing to the continued development of the city’s water network.

Along the banks of the Yangtze River, Easy-Sight has spent the past 16 years building its own path of independent technological innovation and has grown into one of China’s leading providers of comprehensive solutions covering the entire pipeline operation and maintenance process.

Easy-Sight was founded in 2010.

In 2016, the company launched the world’s first digital HD CCTV pipeline inspection robot.

In 2017, it independently developed China’s first UV curing equipment for both full-length and localized pipeline rehabilitation.

In 2019, Easy-Sight established a UV curing rehabilitation material production base with large-scale manufacturing capabilities.

In 2020, the company introduced China’s first panoramic quantitative pipeline inspection robot.

In 2021, Easy-Sight launched the Kunpeng Smart Drainage Platform and introduced its G-Series in-pipe water supply pipeline inspection robots.

In 2022, Easy-Sight was recognized as a national-level key “Little Giant” enterprise specializing in professionalization, refinement, specialization and innovation.

In 2026, the company received the Second Prize of the State Scientific and Technological Progress Award.

Nearly six decades of dedication in Hong Kong and sixteen years of technology-driven innovation in Wuhan began from different starting points but are now moving toward the same goal.

Connected by water and united by a shared commitment to safer and smarter infrastructure, Ming Hing Waterworks and Easy-Sight are strengthening cooperation between Hong Kong and Wuhan.

At the event, the Director of the Water Supplies Department expressed strong expectations for deeper technological exchange and cooperation between the two companies.

Easy-Sight will continue to respond to these expectations with innovative technologies, professional expertise and reliable services. Together with its partners, the company aims to safeguard Hong Kong’s urban infrastructure, support the city’s high-quality development and demonstrate the growing strength of Chinese water technology to the world.
