Uniq Loop Technologies Launches AI-Driven Manhole Monitoring Software to Enhance Urban Safety Across the UAE
Abu Dhabi, October 2025:
Uniq Loop Technologies LLC has unveiled an innovative AI-based Manhole Monitoring Software that detects the status, movement, and security of manhole covers in real time. Designed for smart-city infrastructure, the solution addresses a persistent safety challenge faced by municipalities and utilities across the region—unauthorized access, open covers, and hazardous gas buildup.
Industry Applications
The technology is ideal for municipal authorities, utilities, wastewater management companies, and industrial zones. By installing intelligent sensors within each manhole, the system continuously monitors parameters such as open/close status, water level, tilt angle, and unauthorized entry. The information is instantly transmitted to a central dashboard, where AI algorithms analyze abnormal behavior and generate alerts to field teams.
Technology & Advantages
Traditional inspection methods in the UAE rely on manual field surveys performed every few weeks—leaving potential hazards undetected for long periods. Uniq Loop’s automated platform replaces these slow, reactive checks with 24/7 digital surveillance.
Key advantages include:
- Immediate incident detection through real-time sensor feedback
- 80 % reduction in physical inspection frequency
- Automatic GPS tagging for every event to ensure precise maintenance dispatch
- Integration with city control centers for unified public-safety monitoring
Quantified Value Impact
A medium-sized municipality operating around 20 000 manholes typically spends over AED 2 million annually on manual inspections and emergency repairs. By deploying Uniq Loop’s AI system, this expenditure can drop by approximately AED 400 000 per year, thanks to reduced manpower, faster response, and prevention of flooding or accidents. Moreover, the system’s predictive analytics cut potential incident liability costs by up to 50 %.
Sustainability and Impact
The project directly supports UAE Vision 2030 and COP28 urban sustainability initiatives by digitizing public infrastructure, minimizing water loss, and lowering carbon emissions from repeated service-vehicle rounds.
“Smart cities must be proactive, not reactive,” said Sandeep Ashokrao Patil, Managing Director of Uniq Loop Technologies. “Our AI Manhole Monitoring platform eliminates hidden risks before they become accidents, ensuring safety, efficiency, and trust in urban operations.”
With this innovation, Uniq Loop Technologies positions itself as a key digital partner to UAE municipalities pursuing smarter, safer, and more sustainable city infrastructure.
